Foam pads properties and their effects on posturography in participants of different weight [PDF]
Background: Foam pads are increasingly used on force platforms during balance assessments in order to produce increased instability thereby permitting the measurement of enhanced posturographic parameters.

Body-worn triaxial accelerometer coherence and reliability related to static posturography in unilateral vestibular failure [PDF]
Due to the fact that no study to date has shown the experimental validity of ACC-based measures of body sway with respect to posturography for subjects with vestibular deficits, the aim of the present study was: i) to develop and validate a practical tool that can allow clinicians to measure postural sway derangements in an otoneurological setting by ...

Multiple sclerosis: changes in microarchitecture of white matter tracts after training with a video game balance board [PDF]
Purpose: To determine if high-intensity, task-oriented, visual feedback training with a video game balance board (Nintendo Wii) induces significant changes in diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of cerebellar connections and other supratentorial ...
