Impact of Aging on Balance and Pattern of Muscle Activation in Elderly Women from Different Age Groups

International Journal of Gerontology, 2013
Background: Aging causes deterioration in the sensory systems and changes the pattern of muscle activation, which impairs balance in elderly individuals compared to young adults.

Development of Ergonomic Balance Seat(e-BASE) Chair

Journal of the Ergonomics Society of Korea, 2013
Objective: The aim of this study is to develop an ergonomic office chair that has an alarm function for the unbalanced sitting postures. Background: Contrary to expectation, it is reported that office workers sit on their chairs much more in unbalanced postures during daily work.

Interaction between the oculomotor and postural systems during a dual-task: Compensatory reductions in head sway following visually-induced postural perturbations promote the production of accurate double-step saccades in standing human adults. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Humans routinely scan their environment for useful information using saccadic eye movements and/or coordinated movements of the eyes and other body segments such the head and the torso.

Trunk Neuromuscular Impairment Following Spinal Cord Injury: Insights into Bidirectional and Nonlinear Corticomuscular Coupling

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to disruptions in trunk motion patterns due to alterations in trunk neuromuscular control, with these changes remaining incompletely understood.

Evaluating the effects of an exercise program (Staying UpRight) for older adults in long-term care on rates of falls: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Trials, 2020
Background Falls are two to four times more frequent amongst older adults living in long-term care (LTC) than community-dwelling older adults and have deleterious consequences.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Recommendations for Target Muscle Activation Protocol During Trunk Rehabilitation Robot-Based Seated Perturbation Training

IEEE Access
Rehabilitation interventions involving forced perturbations of seated balance can improve a patient’s balancing ability with increased muscle activations. Investigating training parameters that affect the specific muscle activation is essential to

Feasibility and Safety of Somato‐Cognitive Coordination Therapy for Cerebellar Ataxia Following Pediatric Brain Tumor Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cerebellar ataxia after pediatric brain tumor treatment can cause persistent gait, balance, and speech impairment, yet no established rehabilitation strategy exists. Somato‐cognitive coordination therapy (SCCT) is a virtual reality–guided intervention designed to promote sensorimotor integration through visually constrained reaching
