We aimed to analyze the differences in static (including conventional and modified [single-leg heel-raise balance]) and dynamic postural stability and muscle endurance between patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and healthy controls, and to ...

Interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with vestibular disorder and healthy controls [PDF]
Objectives: To determine whether interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with balance system impairment and healthy subjects is due to general capacity limitations, motor control interference, competition for spatial

Postural Indices and Limits of Stability in Subjects Having Chronic Low Back Pain versus Healthy Control: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study [PDF]
Introduction: Balance and postural performance measures are quite variable. These measures can be influenced by chronic musculoskeletal problems. In the literature, contradicting results are given regarding the effects of postural stability indices and ...

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

Postural Stability and Proprioception Abnormalities in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) leads to the damage of all joint components, with consequent proprioceptive impairment leading to a decline in balance and an increase in the risk of falls.

Effects of the Loss of Binocular and Motion Parallax on Static Postural Stability
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 instability detection: aging and the complexity of spatial-temporal distributional patterns for virtually contacting the stability boundary in human stance. [PDF]
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
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 ...
