DEVELOPMENT OF THE UPRIGHT POSTURAL SWAY OF CHILDREN

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1995
SUMMARYFrom 1988 to 1992. 1188 children (576 boys and 612 girls) three to 11 years old were studied using the Stasio‐analyzer to clarify developmental change of upright postural sway. Developmental change in the contact surface area of the sole, the coefficient of variation for the contact surface area, total sway area, total sway path and position of ...

The effects of brief swaying on postural control

NeuroReport, 2017
Postural control can be improved with balance training. However, the nature and duration of the training required to enhance posture remains unclear. We studied the effects of 5 min of a self-initiated balance exercise along a single axis on postural control in healthy individuals.

Modular control of mediolateral postural sway

2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012
Is voluntary motor control of mediolateral rhythmic sway ruled by modular organization? Answering this question has potential implications in diagnosis and rehabilitation of neurologically impairments. Superficial EMG and computerized dynamic posturography has been used in this study to investigate modular control of six healthy subjects.

Postural Sway Classification using Bispectrum

2024 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)
To reduce mortality and morbidity rates among elderly individuals, continuous monitoring of their postural sway is necessary. This monitoring is implemented through the use of accelerometer sensors, which provide time series signals. The bispectrum, an example of high order spectral (HOS) analysis, is employed to analyze these time series, leveraging ...

Time-frequency analysis of postural sway

Journal of Biomechanics, 1995
Postural sway during quiet stance has been used to characterize the postural control system. Most studies have used center of pressure (COP) measurements and have assumed stationarity, however, recent research has indicated that COP is not stationary.

SWAY - Designing for Balance and Posture Awareness

Proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction, 2018
This paper presents the SWAY prototype that encourages people to explore aspects around balance and posture in a playful way. The prototype senses small movements and shifts in posture using a Kinect sensor, and translates these movements to the tilting of a platform holding a set of marbles, and to haptic feedback in the form of vibrations.

Interaction of respiration and postural sway

[1993] Proceedings of the Twelfth Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference, 2002
The authors investigate the relationship between respiration and postural sway in regular relaxed breathing and after exercise. The objective is to determine if there is a respiratory component in postural sway. The authors' study differs from two previous studies by examining the effect of non-paced respiration on quiet standing.

Swaying to the complex motion of a visual target affects postural sway variability

Gait & Posture, 2020
Voluntary shifting body weight in the anteroposterior direction is an important element of daily life activities, such as rising from a chair or initiating a step. In order to accommodate the daily-life challenges of such tasks, voluntary postural sway needs to be flexible and variable.In this study we asked how whole-body tracking of a complex visual ...

The postural sway test: A historical note

International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 1972
Abstract The modern literature on hypnotic and related phenomena generally credits Hull as the originator, around 1929, of the Postural or Body Sway test. However, at least 4 descriptions and discussions of this type of test can be found in the French scientific literature published between 1887 and 1914.

Changes in Postural Sway and Its Fractions in Conditions of Postural Instability

Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2006
We investigated changes in postural sway and its fractions associated with manipulations of the dimensions of the support area. Nine healthy adults stood as quietly as possible, with their eyes open, on a force plate as well as on 5 boards with reduced support area.
