Safety of lemborexant versus placebo and zolpidem: effects on auditory awakening threshold, postural stability, and cognitive performance in healthy older participants in the middle of the night and upon morning awakening

Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (JCSM), 2020
Our aim was to evaluate the effect of lemborexant versus zolpidem tartrate extended release 6.25 mg (ZOL) or placebo (PBO) on postural stability, auditory awakening threshold (AAT), and cognitive performance (cognitive performance assessment battery ...

Postural Stability in Athletes: The Role of Age, Sex, Performance Level, and Athlete Shoe Features

Sports, 2020
The effects of different factors—such as age, sex, performance level, and athletic shoe features—on postural balance in athletes remain unclear. The main objective of our study is to identify the features of postural stability in athletes of different ...

Significance of finger tactile information for postural stability in humans

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2013
To maintain an erect posture, sensory information must be integrated from the vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems. Additional somatosensory cues from the fingertips have been proposed to be able to improve postural stability during quiet ...

Reweighting of sensory inputs to control quiet standing in children from 7 to 11 and in adults. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
How sensory organization for postural control matures in children is not clear at this time. The present study examined, in children aged 7 to 11 and in adults, the postural control modifications in quiet standing when somatosensory inputs from the ankle

A comparison of placebo and nocebo effects on objective and subjective postural stability: a double-edged sword?

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Background: Positive expectations (i.e., placebo effect) can improve postural control during quiet standing. This raises an important question: if postural control is susceptible to positive expectations, is it possible to elicit the opposite, a decline ...

Postural stability and fractal dynamics

Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 2001
Methods of non-linear dynamics and deterministic chaos may provide us with effective quantitative descriptors of the dynamics of postural control. The goal of this study was to introduce a new measure, which would allow to determine the fractal structure of posturographic signals and to measure the effect of the loss of visual feedback information in ...

Postural Stability: The Role of Auditory Input in Normal Hearing Individuals and Older Adults with Hearing Loss [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology
Introduction:Balance integrates sensory and motor functions through the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems. Auditory inputs also contribute to spatial orientation, aiding postural control and stability.

Biodex© training post-stroke for postural stability in the upper trunk: A pilot study

South African Journal of Physiotherapy, 2020
Background: Stroke affects upper trunk postural stability and upper limb function in approximately 85% of stroke survivors. Upper trunk postural stability is essential for functioning of the upper limb and is a prerequisite for hand function.

Relationship between postural stability and fall risk in young adult after lower limb muscle fatigue

Healthcare in Low-resource Settings, 2023
Introduction: Muscle fatigue can reduce body balance and activity of daily living tasks. Therefore, this study aims to identify the correlation between postural stability and fall risk due to muscle fatigue. The components in postural stability include

Chronic Effects of Pediatric Ear Infections on Postural Stability

International Journal of Pediatrics, 2021
Background. Ear infections in children often cause abnormal postural stability. However, the long-term effects of recurrent ear infections on postural stability have not been investigated. Purpose.
