Effects of non-extensible lumbar belts on static and dynamic postural stability

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background Previous studies have found that increased intra-abdominal pressure helps to reduce spinal loading and improve spine stability. Non-extensible lumbar belts (NEBs) could elevate intra-abdominal pressure and augment spinal stability.

Safety of Lemborexant Versus Placebo and Zolpidem: Effects on Auditory Awakening Threshold, Postural Stability, and Cognitive Performance in Healthy Older Subjects in the Middle of the Night and Upon Morning Awakening.

Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2020
STUDY OBJECTIVES 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

Poorer dynamic postural stability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture combined with lateral meniscus tear than in those with medial meniscus tear

Knee Surgery & Related Research, 2020
Background Only limited data are available regarding postural stability between anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured patients with medial meniscus (MM) tear and those with lateral meniscus (LM) tear.

Effects of the Loss of Binocular and Motion Parallax on Static Postural Stability

Sensors, 2023
Depth information is important for postural stability and is generated by two visual systems: binocular and motion parallax. The effect of each type of parallax on postural stability remains unclear.

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 ...

Postural instability detection: aging and the complexity of spatial-temporal distributional patterns for virtually contacting the stability boundary in human stance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Falls among the older population can severely restrict their functional mobility and even cause death. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms and conditions that cause falls, for which it is important to develop a predictive model of falls.

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

Postural Stabilization of Perceptual But Not Cognitive Performance [PDF]

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2007
In 2 experiments, the authors independently varied the degree of cognitive and perceptual difficulty of suprapostural tasks. Participants were 23 students in Experiment 1 and 15 in Experiment 2. Increases in perceptual difficulty tended to be correlated with decreases in the variability of postural sway, consistent with the hypothesized functional ...
