Improvements in vertical jump by healthy adults at high altitude despite inter‐individual differences in neuromuscular coordination changes

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, April 2026.
Abstract Research indicates that the performance is enhanced in situations involving rapid movements at high altitude. However, maintaining equilibrium and walking economically in low‐oxygen conditions are often impaired. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of trekking at high altitudes on static balance, vertical jump, gait, and ...

Effectiveness of Foot Biomechanical Orthoses to Relieve Patients Suffering from Plantar Fasciitis: Is the Reduction of Pain Related to Change in Neural Strategy?

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Plantar fasciitis is a cause of chronic pain under the heel and bottom of the foot. One of the treatments to reduce pain consists of using plantar orthoses to address specific imbalances during foot placement or gait. The aim of the present study was to determine if reduction of pain with a treatment based on plantar orthoses is related to changes in ...

The Effects of Leg Length Discrepancy on Stability and Kinematics‐Kinetics Deviations: A Systematic Review

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Various studies have examined body posture stability, including postural sway and associated biomechanical parameters, to assess the severity effects of leg length discrepancy (LLD). However, various viewpoints have been articulated on the results of these studies because of certain drawbacks in the comprehensive analysis of the effect of variations in

Exploring the Impact of Adaptive Behaviors on Balance: A Comparative Analysis of Static and Dynamic Balance in Athletes With and Without Intellectual Disabilities

Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
There are clear differences in both static and dynamic balance between individuals with and without intellectual disabilities. In addition, the level of adaptive skills and processing speed is related to balance, with those having lower levels of adaptive skills experiencing greater difficulties in maintaining better balance.

Whole‐Body Vibration Does Not Seem to Affect Postural Control in Healthy Active Older Women

Rehabilitation Research and Practice, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Objective. This study investigated the acute residual effects induced by different frequencies of whole‐body vibration (WBV) on postural control of elderly women. Design. Thirty physically active elderly women (67 ± 5 years) were randomly divided into three groups: two experimental groups (high WBV frequency: 45 Hz and 4 mm amplitude, n = 10; low WBV ...

Physical Meaning on Geometrical Index for Stabilometry

Equilibrium Research, 2003
In this paper, we report our development of an analytical index on stabilometry to diagnose a decrease in the cerebellar equilibrium function controlling vestibulo-spinal reflex. We measured the sway of the center-of-gravity of the body with a stabilometer for seven healthy men aged 19 to 26 years, and also recorded statokinesigrams after alcoholic ...

Analysis of the centre of pressure in bipedal stance among individuals with and without intellectual disabilities, individuals with Down syndrome and dancers with Down syndrome

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 524-536, May 2024.
Abstract Background Individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs) often present deficiencies in motor, balance and postural control. On the other hand, the practice of physical activity and dance usually reduces these deficiencies. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare the control of the centre of pressure (COP) in people with Down syndrome (
