Interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with vestibular disorder and healthy controls

open access: yes, 2001
OBJECTIVES - To determine whether interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with balance system impairment and healthy subjects is due to general capacity limitations, motor control interference, competition for ...

Bootstrap Prediction and Confidence Bands for Frequency Response Functions in Posturography [PDF]

open access: yes
The frequency response function (FRF) is an established way to describe the outcome of experiments in posture control literature. The FRF is an empirical transfer function between an input stimulus and the induced body segment sway profile, represented as a vector of complex values associated with a vector of frequencies.

Quantifying Time Awake Posturographically [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This thesis focuses on the issue of testing sleepiness quantitatively. The issue is relevant to policymakers concerned with traffic- and occupational safety; such testing provides a tool for safety legislation and -surveillance.

Deterioration of Vestibular Motion Perception: A Risk Factor for Postural Instability and Falls in Elderly With Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesDiabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 40, Issue 7, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Aims To assess whether impaired vestibular perception of self‐motion is a risk factor for unsteadiness and falls in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials and methods 113 participants (65–75 years old) with T2D underwent tests of roll and pitch discrimination, postural stability (Berg Balance Scale, Modified Romberg Test, and ...

Signatures of Parkinson's disease in complexity of low-frequency fluctuations of postural sway velocity [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Posturography is routinely used to qualitatively assess one of the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's disease -- postural instability. While most measures of balance control are derived from displacement of the center of pressure there is evidence that such control is more likely to be velocity-based.

Posturographic pattern of patients with chronic subjective dizziness before and after vestibular rehabilitation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Chronic subjective dizziness (CSD) is frequently encountered in neurotology clinics. This diagnosis is mainly clinical, but computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) could be a helpful instrumental tool in the identification of these patients and ...

Effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation on postural stability in subacute stroke: A randomized control trial

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 12, Issue 19, October 2024.
Abstract Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) promotes neuromodulation and neuroplasticity in the brain. The aim of this study was to determine the long‐term effects of the anodal tDCS on postural and trunk stability, physical performance, anticipatory postural adjustment and quality of life in sub‐acute stroke patients.

Does vestibular rehabilitation improve postural control of subjects with chronic subjective dizziness?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Postural control is the ability to maintain equilibrium and orientation in a gravitational environment. Patients with chronic subjective dizziness have some troubles with their postural stability.

Comparison of the standing balance between pole vaulters and soccer players in preseason and postseason

open access: yesPhysical Education of Students, 2020
Background and Study Aim: Static is crucial in the maintaining the position of the body’s center of gravity vertically over the base of support. Many sport disciplines require effective balance system.

Assessing Postural Stability Via the Correlation Patterns of Vertical Ground Reaction Force Components [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background Many methods have been proposed to assess the stability of human postural balance by using a force plate. While most of these approaches characterize postural stability by extracting features from the trajectory of the center of pressure (COP),
