A neuroprosthesis for control of seated balance after spinal cord injury. [PDF]

J Neuroeng Rehabil, 2015
A major desire of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) is the ability to maintain a stable trunk while in a seated position. Such stability is invaluable during many activities of daily living (ADL) such as regular work in the home and office environments, wheelchair propulsion and driving a vehicle.

Interlimb Coordination and Auditory—Motor Synchronization in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: Examining Antiphase Knee Movements with Auditory Metronomes While Seated

Children
Background: Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) exhibit reduced interlimb coordination compared to typically developing children (TDC) during complex tasks like running, which requires dynamic postural control.

The Impact of Sports Training on the Spinal Cord Injury Individual’s Balance [PDF]

Sensors
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes major challenges to mobility and daily life activities and maintaining balance becomes a crucial issue. Individuals with SCI often need to adopt new strategies to manage balance with minimal discomfort. Sports and physical

Inferring Control Intent during Seated Balance using Inverse Model Predictive Control. [PDF]

IEEE Robot Autom Lett, 2019
Patients with Low Back Pain (LBP) are suggested to follow a protective coping strategy. Therefore, rehabilitation of these patients requires estimating their motor control strategies (the control intent). In this letter, we present an approach that infers the control intent by solving an inverse Model Predictive Control (iMPC) problem.

Multimodal cortical and subcortical exercise compared with treadmill training for spinal cord injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Spared fibers after spinal cord injury (SCI) tend to consist predominantly of subcortical circuits that are not under volitional (cortical) control. We aim to improve function after SCI by using targeted physical exercises designed

Relationship between Speed of Response Inhibition and Ability to Suppress a Step in Midlife and Older Adults

Brain Sciences, 2021
In young adults, performance on a test of response inhibition was recently found to be correlated with performance on a reactive balance test where automated stepping responses must occasionally be inhibited.

Quantifying trunk neuromuscular control using seated balancing and stability threshold [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 2020
Performance during seated balancing is often used to assess trunk neuromuscular control, including evaluating impairments in back pain populations. Balancing in less challenging environments allows for flexibility in control, which may not depend on health status but instead may reflect personal preferences.

Balancing district and party seats: The arithmetic of mixed-member proportional electoral systems

Electoral Studies, 2023
Mixed-member proportional electoral systems (MMP) are widely praised because they combine the direct, personal election of MPs from single-seat constituencies with a proportional seat allocation. However, the size of the proportional tier matters for the question of whether the system's overall proportionality is preserved.

Application of a virtual reality tracker-based system to measure seated postural stability in stroke patients

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background Postural stability while sitting is an important indicator of balance and an early predictor for future functional improvement in neurorehabilitation, but the evaluation is usually dependent on clinical balance function measures.

The Validity, Reliability, and Sensitivity of a Smartphone-Based Seated Postural Control Assessment in Wheelchair Users: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2020
Seated postural control is essential for wheelchair users to maintain proper position while performing activities of daily living. Clinical tests are commonly used to measure seated postural control, yet they are subjective and lack sensitivity.
