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

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 ...

Motor deficits in schizophrenia quantified by nonlinear analysis of postural sway. [PDF]

, 2012
Motor dysfunction is a consistently reported but understudied aspect of schizophrenia. Postural sway area was examined in individuals with schizophrenia under four conditions with different amounts of visual and proprioceptive feedback: eyes open or ...

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.

A comparison of placebo and nocebo effects on objective and subjective postural stability: a double-edged sword?

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 ...
