No role of working memory in the relation between mental rotation and postural stability
Frontiers in CognitionThis study investigated the relationship between mental rotation ability and postural stability, with a focus on the role of the visuospatial sketchpad of working memory, as it has been found to be correlated with both concepts.

A validation of mobile sensing actigraphy devices for generating a biomechanical model of posture [PDF]
, 2017 Mobile sensing actigraphy was tested and validated as a modality for computing dynamic posturography. Twelve healthy volunteer subjects (6 male) were administered risperidone and assessed for postural stability using a NeuroCom® Balance Master system and

Postural Stabilization of Perceptual But Not Cognitive Performance [PDF]
Journal of Motor Behavior, 2007 In 2 experiments, the authors independently varied the degree of cognitive and perceptual difficulty of suprapostural tasks. Participants were 23 students in Experiment 1 and 15 in Experiment 2. Increases in perceptual difficulty tended to be correlated with decreases in the variability of postural sway, consistent with the hypothesized functional ...

Dynamic Postural Control in Children:Do the Arms Lend the Legs a Helping Hand? [PDF]
, 2019 There is growing empirical evidence lending support to the existence of an “upper body strategy” to extend the ankle and hip strategies in maintaining upright postural stability among adults.
