International Journal of Physiotherapy, 2017 Background: Expert athletes in archery can rapidly achieve postural stability compared to beginners and novice athletes. This study investigated the effectiveness of a core stability training program in reducing the postural sway among adolescent archers.

Postural Sway Abnormalities in Schizotypal Personality Disorder [PDF]
, 2018 Motor abnormalities are among the most robust findings in schizophrenia, and increasing evidence suggests they are a core feature of the disorder. Postural sway during balance tasks is a highly sensitive probe of sensorimotor systems including the ...

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.

Exploring the nature of postural sway
, 2013 Humans are unable to stand still, but rather experience continuous oscillations of the body known as postural sway. While the origins of postural sway are largely unknown, theories suggest that postural sway originates from the interaction between movements of the body (centre of mass, COM) and forces beneath the feet (centre of pressure, COP). The COP

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)
