Smoking habits and postural stability
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1994It has been reported that tobacco smoking temporarily affects postural stability We have examined whether smoking habits have a long-term effect on the body balance control using computer-aided posturography.The postural stability of 80 male forest workers was measured with a force platform technique with eyes closed.

Postural stability in strabismus and amblyopia
Strabismus, 2023Postural control is a complex skill based on the collaboration of dynamic sensory mechanisms, namely the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems.A literature survey regarding postural stability in strabismus and amblyopia was conducted using databases in order to collect data for a narrative review of published reports and available literature ...

Postural Stability in Diabetic Polyneuropathy
Diabetes Care, 1995OBJECTIVE To examine whether sensory changes in lower limbs associated with diabetic sensory polyneuropathy compromise postural stability in different visual sensory conditions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The presence and seventy of sensory ...

POSTURAL STABILITY AND COLLES' FRACTURE
Age and Ageing, 1987We have tested the hypothesis that the Colles' fracture is due, not simply to bone loss at the menopause, but to postural instability in a subset of postmenopausal women such that they are rendered more liable to fall. We have measured bone mass by dual photon spinal densitometry and single photon wrist densitometry and measured postural sway in 19 ...

Postural Stability of Sitting Women
International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2013The study examined the utility of stabilometric dimensions and explored whether the changes in sitting postures were manifested in functional measures of postural control. Eleven women participated in the study, which used 11 chair sitting postures: arms on laps or arms right angled; armrest at a height of 17, 20 and 23 cm; with or without backrest ...

Trunk posture and spinal stability
Clinical Biomechanics, 2001The influence of trunk posture on musculoskeletal stability of the spine was investigated.A biomechanical model was developed to evaluate the influence of posture on spinal stability. Model performance was assessed by comparing predicted muscle recruitment patterns with measured EMG activity from the trunk muscles during static lifting exertions.An ...

Postural Stability of Athletes in Special Olympics
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2009To assess body equilibrium in athletes with intellectual disability, 60 adults with intellectual disability (30 Down syndrome, 30 nonsyndromic) participating in the 2005 Italian Special Olympics games were tested, and data for 30 healthy control adults were tested.

On postural stability and variability
Gait & Posture, 1993Abstract The stability of posture is often assessed directly by the variability of certain centre of pressure parameters, such as length or area of the centre of pressure profiles. Increased variability of these parameters is usually taken as an index of decreased postural stability.

The Relation of Mental Rotation and Postural Stability
Journal of Motor Behavior, 2021Main goal of this study was to investigate the influence of mental rotation tasks on postural stability. 84 participants were tested with two object-based mental rotation tasks (cube vs. human figures), an egocentric mental rotation task with one human figure, a math- (cognitive control) and a neutral task, while standing on a force plate in a both ...

Different species, from mollusk to man, actively maintain a basic body posture (that is a particular orientation of their body in space) due to the activity of postural control system. For example, marine mollusk Clione and man maintain the vertical (headup orientation), the fish and terrestrial quadrupeds maintain the dorsal side-up body orientation ...
