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 ...

The relationship between equanimity and postural stability. [PDF]

BMC Psychol
Background The main goal of this study was to examine the relation between inner (equanimity), and outer (postural stability) balance. It was expected that participants with a higher sense of equanimity, higher emotion regulation abilities, and higher ...

Interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with vestibular disorder and healthy controls [PDF]

, 2001
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 ...

Center of pressure excursion as a measure of balance performance in patients with non-specific low back pain compared to healthy controls: a systematic review of the literature [PDF]

, 2010
Over the past 20 years, the center of pressure (COP) has been commonly used as an index of postural stability in standing. While many studies investigated COP excursions in low back pain patients and healthy individuals, no comprehensive analysis of the ...

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

, 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.

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 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.
