Sensors, 2022 This study investigated the effects of performing a cognitive task on the sensory integration of balance in healthy individuals. Ten subjects (five F/five M; 21.5 ± 2.17 years; 69.9 ± 3.4 inches; 155.6 ± 26.1 lbs; Caucasian), without known balance issues,

Postural instructions affect postural sway in young adults
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 ...

Hallux valgus deformity and postural sway: a cross-sectional study
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021 Background Hallux valgus deformity has been reported to be associated with increased postural sway. However, the direction and magnitude of postural sway associated with hallux valgus remain inconclusive. We assessed the association between hallux valgus

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 ...

The Walls Are Closing In: Postural Responses to a Virtual Reality Claustrophobic Simulation
Clinical and Translational Neuroscience, 2022 Background: Changes in the visual environment and thereby, the spatial orientation, can induce postural instability leading to falls. Virtual reality (VR) has been used to expose individuals to virtual environments (VE) that increase postural threats ...

Concurrent validity of a developed accelerometry-based device for postural sway assessment [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020 Postural control is one factor related to falls. Many instruments are available to objectively evaluate postural control performance. However, feasibility and applicability is limited by setting and financial restraints.

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 ...

Posture sway and the transition rate for a fall [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2001 Postural body sway displacements for quiet standing subjects (measured with a new ultrasonic device) are reported. Two of the well known strategies for balancing, namely ankle and hip movements were probed. The data is modeled using a Fokker-Plank-Langevin stochastic theory. Both analytic and computer simulation techniques are employed.

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.
