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

Postural sway in volleyball players [PDF]
Human Movement Science, 2013 The aim of this work was to analyze the postural sway of volleyball players in bipedal quiet stance. The center of pressure (CoP) was measured in 46 athletes and 42 non-athlete controls.

Postural sway dynamics in adults across the autism spectrum: a multifactor approach [PDF]
Molecular AutismBackground Motor challenges are highly prevalent within autism, and increased postural sway has been consistently demonstrated in autistic youth. However, the extent to which sway anomalies extend into adulthood remains understudied.

Postural sway in multiple sclerosis patients: interaction of vision, surface, and fatigue effects [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceIntroductionPostural control impairments are common in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), resulting in postural instability and increased fall risk. Sensory inputs are crucial to maintain balance adequately. Additionally, fatigue is one of the common

Postural instructions affect postural sway in young adults. [PDF]
Gait Posture, 2023 Instructions to exert effort to correct one's posture are ubiquitous, but previous work indicates that effort-based postural instructions can impair balance control in older adults with and without neurodegenerative disease. Although less-studied, young adults are at high risk of injurious falls.How do different postural instructions influence static ...

Postural sway is not affected by estrogen fluctuations during the menstrual cycle [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 2023 When people stand still, they exhibit a phenomenon called postural sway, or spontaneous movement of the body's center of pressure, which is related to balance control.

Optimal controllers resembling postural sway during upright stance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The human postural control system can maintain our balance in an upright stance. A simplified control model that can mimic the mechanisms of this complex system and adapt to the changes due to aging and injuries is a significant problem that can be used ...

Assessing Free-Living Postural Sway in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation EngineeringPostural instability is associated with disease status and fall risk in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). However, assessments of postural instability, known as postural sway, leverage force platforms or wearable accelerometers, and are most often ...

Intrinsic ankle stiffness is associated with paradoxical calf muscle movement but not postural sway or age [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyDue to Achilles tendon compliance, passive ankle stiffness is insufficient to stabilise the body when standing. This results in ‘paradoxical’ muscle movement, whereby calf muscles tend to shorten during forward body sway.

Results of neck-specific exercise for altered postural sway in individuals with chronic whiplash-associated disorders: a longitudinal case–control study [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPostural sway has not been investigated before or after a neck exercise intervention in individuals with chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). The aim of the study was to investigate postural sway in individuals with chronic WAD grades 2 and 3: (a)
