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.

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 ...

Pain relief is associated with decreasing postural sway in patients with non-specific low back pain
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2012 Background Increased postural sway is well documented in patients suffering from non-specific low back pain, whereby a linear relationship between higher pain intensities and increasing postural sway has been described.

Postural sway in children: A literature review [PDF]
Gait & Posture, 2016 Static posturography can serve as an easy and fast way to determine whether a child possesses sufficient balance control in different sensory conditions. Therefore, the aim of this review is to map age-related differences in postural sway during childhood in typically developing children, using static posturography and to provide an overview of the ...

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 ...

Detecting changes in postural sway
Journal of Biomechanics, 2020 Postural sway has been identified as a valid marker for assessing the presence of a concussion and monitoring return to activity progression. Instrumented balance assessments have shown to be more reliable in detecting postural sway. However, many sports medicine programs cannot afford to purchase a force plate system to objectively assess postural ...

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.

The role of vestibular cues in postural sway [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2021 Vestibular feedback is important for postural control, but little is known about the role of tilt cues vs. translation cues vs. rotation cues. We studied healthy human subjects with no known vestibular pathology or symptoms. Our findings showed that vestibular encoding of lateral translation correlated with medial-lateral postural sway, consistent ...

Illusory visual motion stimulus elicits postural sway in migraine patients
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Although the perception of visual motion modulates postural control, it is unknown whether illusory visual motion elicits postural sway. The present study examined the effect of illusory motion on postural sway in patients with migraine, who tend to be ...
