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 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.

Hypothetical control of postural sway [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2020 Abstract Quiet standing exhibits strongly intermittent variability that has inspired at least two interpretations. First, variability can be intermittent through the alternating engagement and disengagement of complementary control processes at distinct scales.

Voluntarily controlled but not merely observed visual feedback affects postural sway [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Online stabilization of human standing posture utilizes multisensory afferences (e.g., vision). Whereas visual feedback of spontaneous postural sway can stabilize postural control especially when observers concentrate on their body and intend to minimize
