Different Gymnastic Balls Affect Postural Balance Rather Than Core-Muscle Activation: A Preliminary Study [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Background: In proprioceptive training, unstable devices produce multidirectional perturbations that must be counterbalanced by the postural control systems and core-muscle activation. We investigated whether different sizes and shapes of three gymnastic

Quantification of Mechanisms of Human Seated Balance using System Identification
, 2018 Elderly individuals and those affected by neuromuscular disorders are frequently not able to independently maintain seated balance. As a result, these individuals are limited in performing activities of daily living, and are susceptible to an increased risk of falling and secondary health complications.
