Analysis of postural stability and body composition of women after unilateral mastectomy

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2018
Summary Introduction: The electrical bioimpedance method allows a non-invasive and precise assessment of the content of fat tissue, muscle mass or the amount of fluid in the body depending on the state of health or lifestyle.

Stability of the human spine in neutral postures [PDF]

European Spine Journal, 1997
The present study aimed to identify some of the mechanisms affecting spinal compressive load-bearing capacity in neutral postures. Two spinal geometries were employed in the evaluation of the stabilizing mechanisms of the spine in standing neutral postures.

Effects of dual tasks and dual-task training on postural stability: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Clinical Interventions in Aging, 2017
The use of dual-task training paradigm to enhance postural stability in patients with balance impairments is an emerging area of interest. The differential effects of dual tasks and dual-task training on postural stability still remain unclear.

Selection and control of limb posture for stability [PDF]

2013 35th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2013
Impedance control can be used to stabilize the limb against both instability and unpredictable perturbations. Limb posture influences motor noise, energy usage and limb impedance as well as their interaction. Here we examine whether subjects use limb posture as part of a mechanism to regulate limb stability. Subjects performed stabilization tasks while

Postural stability during standing and its association with physical and cognitive functions in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients

International Urology and Nephrology, 2019
PurposeChronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterised by poor physical function. A possible factor may be aberrant changes to balance and postural stability (i.e. ability to maintain centre of pressure (COP)).

An interventional exploratory study to assess the effect of footwear on postural stability and strategy during quiet standing

International Biomechanics, 2021
A stable quiet stance is achieved by controlling the relative position of the center of pressure and the vertical projection of the center of mass. The best postural performances include efficient strategies to mitigate external perturbations.

Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis: The Role of Clinical and Sociodemographic Factors ‐ A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive impairment (CI) affects the quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS). Identifying influencing factors is key to improving CI monitoring. This systematic review and meta‐analysis examines clinical and sociodemographic variables impacting the cognitive screening Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) performance across MS ...

Analysis of sensory system aspects of postural stability during quiet standing in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018
The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze quite standing postural stability of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients in respect to three sensory systems (visual, vestibular, and somatosensory).

Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.
