Postural Stability of Athletes in Special Olympics
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2009To assess body equilibrium in athletes with intellectual disability, 60 adults with intellectual disability (30 Down syndrome, 30 nonsyndromic) participating in the 2005 Italian Special Olympics games were tested, and data for 30 healthy control adults were tested.

Different species, from mollusk to man, actively maintain a basic body posture (that is a particular orientation of their body in space) due to the activity of postural control system. For example, marine mollusk Clione and man maintain the vertical (headup orientation), the fish and terrestrial quadrupeds maintain the dorsal side-up body orientation ...

Diabetes and Postural Stability: Review and Hypotheses
Journal of Motor Behavior, 2009Among the complications associated with diabetes mellitus is postural control. The authors reviewed 28 studies in the literature that focused on the magnitudes of postural sway that people with and without diabetes exhibit. The general observation is that postural sway is greater for people with diabetes, especially if their condition includes ...

Postural stability assessment and orthotics
Pediatric Gait: A New Millennium in Clinical Care and Motion Analysis Technology, 2002The assessment of postural control is critical to a more accurate understanding of balance disorders. However, despite the extensive and interdisciplinary research, postural stability still has limited clinical applications because of the complex interactions among the body systems that controls balance.

Postural stabilization for the control of touching
Human Movement Science, 1999Abstract We attempted to distinguish between task-related (supra-postural) and perceptual influences on postural motions. Two groups of participants had to make very light tactile contact with an adjacent pliable surface while standing with their eyes closed. In the absence of vision, such light touching with a finger is known to reduce sway. For one

Clinical Assessment of Postural Stability
Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology, 2003One of the most important applications of postural sway analysis is the detection of such impairments to the motor system that would allow us to predict risk of falling. Force plate posturography is a commonly used clinical method for the evaluation of postural instability.

An investigation of seated postural stability
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 1992Results of tests undertaken to identify which measures of seated posture control are most effective in two areas, distinguishing differences in the x and y direction control strategies for a given task and distinguishing differences in overall control strategies for pairs of different tasks, are presented.
