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
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 ...

Stabilometry as a method of monitoring the physical rehabilitation of patients [PDF]
In stabilometry, the basic stance involves the action of many body systems. Physical exercises with an emphasis on diaphragmatic breathing help to improve respiratory function. In the course of physical exercises, the thigh muscles are trained, the trunk

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 (

Physical Meaning on Geometrical Index for Stabilometry
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 ...

An Investigation in the Role of the Visual Target in Stabilometry.
The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal visual target to be used in stabilometry. The sway of the body (total length and area of the center of pressure) was measured on 30 healthy subjects while they were shown 8 kinds of visual targets at random, placed 2 m infront.

Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience significantly reduced quality of life when PD is complicated with Pisa syndrome (PS). PS is a postural abnormality associated with a lateral bending of the trunk, causing the patient to lean to one side.
