Effect of Short Term Balance Training on Postural Stability in Ice Hockey Players

open access: yesActa Universitatis Carolinae Kinanthropologica, 2015
Postural stability is one of latent factors affecting game performance of an individual to a certain extent. The presented study deals with monitoring changes of postural stability in ice hockey players after eight week’s balance training.

Relationship Between Standing Posture and Stability [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Therapy, 1998
This study determined whether persons with stability impairments have postural aberrations. We investigated whole-body posture and its relationship to center-of-gravity (COG) stability.Data from 27 subjects with vestibular hypofunction and 26 subjects without vestibular impairment were analyzed.An optoelectronic full-body system measured kinematics ...

TESCLA: A Fully Soft Electromagnetic Linear Actuator With Continuous Bending Enabled by Liquid‐Metal Solenoids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
TESCLA (tubular electromagnetic soft conformal linear actuator) combines liquid‐metal solenoids and compliant magnetic composites to achieve large‐stroke bidirectional actuation with continuous bending. Integrated inductance‐based self‐sensing enables proprioceptive position estimation without external sensors, providing a versatile platform for soft ...

Biohybrid Crawling Robot With Spiral‐Spring Backbone and Inclined Legs for Enhanced Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present a biohybrid crawling robot integrating a muscle ring with a flexible skeleton combining two complementary structural elements. The spiral‐spring backbone enables large‐amplitude bending without compromising axial stability, while outward‐inclined legs with unequal front–rear lengths effectively convert deformation into directional strides ...

Prevalence of floating toe and its relationship with static postural stability in children: The Yamanashi adjunct study of the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS-Y).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Floating toe (FT) is a frequently seen condition in which a toe is inadequately in contact with the ground. Although toes play an important role in stabilizing standing posture and walking, many aspects of the effects of FT on the body remain unclear. To
