Hearing Balance and Communication, 2019
Purpose: Dizziness is the most common complaint of patients over 65 years consulting a physician. Presbyacusis affects 65% of Canadians aging 70–79. The inner ear is responsible for both hearing and postural stability. However, the interactions between auditory information and the maintenance of postural balance have not been ...

Trunk position sense, postural stability, and spine posture in fibromyalgia
Rheumatology International, 2019This study aimed to investigate trunk position sense, postural stability, and spine posture in women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Fifteen (15) women with FMS and age- and gender-matched fifteen (15) healthy controls were included. Trunk position sense as indicated by trunk reposition errors (TRE) and spine posture (thoracic and lumbar curvature ...

Postural Stability in Shooters
ORL, 1990Ten competition shooters were tested during simulated race using the force platform technique to investigate the effect of training on postural stability. The shooters were tested at 30-min intervals during a race simulating actual race conditions. Sway velocity was calculated during 27-second periods.

POSTURAL STABILITY AND COLLES' FRACTURE
Age and Ageing, 1987We have tested the hypothesis that the Colles' fracture is due, not simply to bone loss at the menopause, but to postural instability in a subset of postmenopausal women such that they are rendered more liable to fall. We have measured bone mass by dual photon spinal densitometry and single photon wrist densitometry and measured postural sway in 19 ...

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1965
Positional stability in quietly standing dogs has been evaluated in terms of force records from individual feet and the position of the center of gravity. All four dogs carried approximately 60% of their total weight on their anterior feet and roughly 50% of their weight on each side.

Postural Stability of Sitting Women
International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2013The study examined the utility of stabilometric dimensions and explored whether the changes in sitting postures were manifested in functional measures of postural control. Eleven women participated in the study, which used 11 chair sitting postures: arms on laps or arms right angled; armrest at a height of 17, 20 and 23 cm; with or without backrest ...

Smoking habits and postural stability
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1994It has been reported that tobacco smoking temporarily affects postural stability We have examined whether smoking habits have a long-term effect on the body balance control using computer-aided posturography.The postural stability of 80 male forest workers was measured with a force platform technique with eyes closed.

Trunk posture and spinal stability
Clinical Biomechanics, 2001The influence of trunk posture on musculoskeletal stability of the spine was investigated.A biomechanical model was developed to evaluate the influence of posture on spinal stability. Model performance was assessed by comparing predicted muscle recruitment patterns with measured EMG activity from the trunk muscles during static lifting exertions.An ...
