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

open access: yesPLoS 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

Is there a relationship between pain intensity and postural sway in patients with non-specific low back pain? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Increased center of pressure excursions are well documented in patients suffering from non-specific low back pain, whereby the altered postural sway includes both higher mean sway velocities and larger sway area.

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

open access: yesIranian 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.

Chronic Effects of Pediatric Ear Infections on Postural Stability

open access: yesInternational 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yesSouth 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.
