The relationship between a child's postural stability and manual dexterity [PDF]
, 2014 The neural systems responsible for postural control are separate from the neural substrates that underpin control of the hand. Nonetheless, postural control and eye-hand coordination are linked functionally. For example, a stable platform is required for

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 ...

Information decomposition of multichannel EMG to map functional interactions in the distributed motor system [PDF]
, 2019 The central nervous system needs to coordinate multiple muscles during postural control. Functional coordination is established through the neural circuitry that interconnects different muscles.

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

Balance training reduces brain activity during motor simulation of a challenging balance task in older adults: an fMRI study [PDF]
, 2018 Aging is associated with a shift from an automatic to a more cortical postural control strategy, which goes along with deteriorations in postural stability.

Postural stability and fractal dynamics
Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 2001 Methods of non-linear dynamics and deterministic chaos may provide us with effective quantitative descriptors of the dynamics of postural control. The goal of this study was to introduce a new measure, which would allow to determine the fractal structure of posturographic signals and to measure the effect of the loss of visual feedback information in ...

Frontiers 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
South 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.

Relationship between postural stability and fall risk in young adult after lower limb muscle fatigue
Healthcare in Low-resource Settings, 2023 Introduction: Muscle fatigue can reduce body balance and activity of daily living tasks. Therefore, this study aims to identify the correlation between postural stability and fall risk due to muscle fatigue. The components in postural stability include
