The Effect of Forefoot Varus on Postural Stability

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2004
Counterbalanced experimental design study comparing a group of subjects with greater than or equal to 70 of forefoot varus (MFV) to a group with less than 70 of forefoot varus (LFV).To investigate the effect of forefoot varus on single-limb stance postural stability (PS).Impaired PS has been implicated as a potential risk factor for sustaining acute ...

Postural Stability While Holding Loads in Various Postures

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1993
Stability while handling loads is an important issue in the prevention of injuries. This study investigated the effects of load positioning on recovery from an unexpected balance disturbance while standing upright holding loads. Fifteen subjects were tested while holding a box in one of five postures. An empty box and a 25 lb box were tested. Subjects

Postural stability in patients with Huntington's disease

Neurology, 1992
We characterized postural stability in patients with Huntington's disease (HD) by examining their ability to use different sensory cues to maintain balance and by recording their automatic postural responses to externally applied perturbations. Our HD patients, like normal subjects, depended more on proprioceptive than on visual cues to maintain ...

A study of stability of standing posture

1974
Mechanical, physiological, and psychological factors affect the stability of a standing posture of the human body. Broer (1966), Bunn (1955), Hellebrandt (1938), Morehouse and Cooper (1950), and other researchers described the well-balanced posture from many points of view.

Ankle mobility and postural stability

Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 1999
Impaired function of the ankle joint can decrease mobility in older adults. Age-related changes in function include increased passive resistance of the elastic tissue in opposing muscles, tendons, and articular structures, weakened agonist muscles, and impaired proprioceptive control.
