The Complexity of Standing Postural Sway Associates with Future Falls in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The MOBILIZE Boston Study

Scientific Reports, 2017
Standing postural control is complex, meaning that it is dependent upon numerous inputs interacting across multiple temporal-spatial scales. Diminished physiologic complexity of postural sway has been linked to reduced ability to adapt to stressors.

Modulation of Lower-Limb Muscle Activity in Maintaining Unipedal Balance According to Surface Stability, Sway Direction, and Leg Dominance

Sports, 2022
Determining temporal similarity in shape between electromyographic (EMG) and center-of-pressure (COP) signals reflects neuromuscular control in terms of which relevant muscles are involved in maintaining balance.

The effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus on postural adaptation and complexity during a visual search task in older adults

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) negatively impacts both the peripheral and central systems involved in postural control, leading to impairments, especially under dual-task conditions. This study investigated the effects of T2DM on postural sway

Effect of Dopaminergic Medication on Postural Sway in Advanced Parkinson’s Disease

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
Background: The effect of dopaminergic therapy on balance in Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains unclear, including previous studies that excluded the effect of dyskinesias or other involuntary movements on postural sway.

Postural Sway in Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis Patients During Tasks With Different Complexity

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Neurological diseases are associated with static postural instability. Differences in postural sway between neurological diseases could include “conceptual” information about how certain symptoms affect static postural stability.

On the Human Standing Postural Sway, II

Orthopedics & Traumatology, 1975
Though the human standing posture is disturbed constantly by various external and internal factors, antigravity muscles and their antagonists, etc. work at every moments to prevent from falling but causing minute sway, in which control mechanism of posture holding would be hidden.

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

The Effects of Augmented Somatosensory Feedback on Postural Sway and Muscle Co-contraction in Different Sensory Conditions

Physical Therapy Korea, 2020
Background: Augmented somatosensory feedback stimulates the mechanoreceptor to deliver information on bodily position, improving the postural control. The various types of such feedback include ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) and vibration.
