The effect of exoskeletal-assisted walking training on seated balance — A pilot study
2017 International Symposium on Wearable Robotics and Rehabilitation (WeRob), 2017Mastering exoskeletal-assisted walking (EAW) requires training of static and dynamic balance skills. These trunk control skills are important components of daily activities in the seated position for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). The purpose of the study is to determine if EAW training transfers to improved seated balance in people with SCI ...

Is body balance more perturbed by respiration in seating than in standing posture?
NeuroReport, 1994The perturbing influence of respiration on balance was studied in sitting and standing subjects. The pneumograms and displacements of the centre of pressure of 10 normal subjects were recorded during quiet breathing, deep breathing and apnoea. The usual stabilometric parameters were measured, and a power spectrum density and time-locked averaging were ...

Balance Maintenance during Seated Reaches of People with Spinal Cord Injury
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2004<div class="htmlview paragraph">In many task analyses using digital human figure models, only the terminal or apparently most stressful posture is analyzed. For reaches from a seated position, this is generally the posture with the hand or hands at the target.

Measurement of sitting balance using the Manchester Active Position Seat (MAPS): a feasibility study
Clinical Rehabilitation, 2002Background: Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy to improve sitting balance has been hampered by the limited number of sensitive objective clinical measures. We developed the Manchester Active Position Seat (MAPS) to provide a portable system to track change in the position of centre of force over time.

The Writing Hand and the Seated Baboon: Tension and Balance in Statue MMA 29.2.16
Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt, 2013This paper offers an interpretation of statue Metropolitan Museum of Art 29.2.16 and analyzes the interplay of its two main components, the scribe and the baboon. The statue thematizes the intersection of writing, adoration and true judgment, while calling attention to points of tension between the figure of the scribe and the image of the baboon.

Instrumenting and Validating a Vibrotactile Device to Assess and Rehabilitate Dynamic Seated Balance
2017Tools that effectively assess and train dynamic seated balance are critical for enhancing functional independence and reducing risk of secondary health complications in the elderly and individuals with neuromuscular impairments. On the one hand, current assessment tools quantify changes in the integrity of the postural control system by measuring ...

Using posturography to measure balance control during seated tai chi.
Biomedical sciences instrumentation, 2016Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA) is recognized by the CDC as an evidenced-based program to prevent falls in older adults. Although seated Tai Chi is recommended for those unable to stand, little is known about balance control during seated TCA.To explore the use of posturography to assess differences between experts and non-expert practitioners of seated ...
