Complexity-Based Measures Inform Effects of Tai Chi Training on Standing Postural Control: Cross-Sectional and Randomized Trial Studies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundDiminished control of standing balance, traditionally indicated by greater postural sway magnitude and speed, is associated with falls in older adults.

Loss of Peripheral Sensory Function Explains Much of the Increase in Postural Sway in Healthy Older Adults

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017
Postural sway increases with age and peripheral sensory disease. Whether, peripheral sensory function is related to postural sway independent of age in healthy adults is unclear.

Motor deficits in schizophrenia quantified by nonlinear analysis of postural sway. [PDF]

, 2012
Motor dysfunction is a consistently reported but understudied aspect of schizophrenia. Postural sway area was examined in individuals with schizophrenia under four conditions with different amounts of visual and proprioceptive feedback: eyes open or ...

Intermuscular coherence of plantar and dorsiflexor muscles in older adults with Parkinson’s disease and age-matched controls during bipedal and unipedal stance

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionPostural instability increases with age and is exacerbated in neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Reducing the base of support from bipedal to unipedal stance increases center of pressure (CoP) parameters and ...

Effects of Sway and Roll Excitations on Sloshing Loads in a KC-1 Membrane LNG Tank

Polish Maritime Research, 2023
This study investigates the effects of sway and roll excitations on sloshing liquid loads in a tank, using Ansys Fluent software. The model considered in the study is a 1:50 scaled membrane-type tank, based on a KC-1 membrane LNG tank designed by Korea ...

Static Balance Digital Endpoints with Mon4t: Smartphone Sensors vs. Force Plate

Sensors, 2022
Static balance tests are conducted in various clinics for diagnosis and treatment adjustment. As a result of population aging, the accessibility of these tests should be increased, in the clinic, and for remote patient examination.

What is the role body sway deviation and body sway velocity play in postural stability in older adults? [PDF]

, 2013
Summary: This cross sectional study focused on how Postural Stability (PS) indicators: body sway deviation (BSD) and body sway velocity (BSV), change with age and their association with levels of social and physical activity.

Study on the Steepness of Landslide-Induced Wave and Nonlinear Motion of Container Ships

Applied Sciences, 2020
Large-scale instability of a landslide body, sliding down a bank slope and entering water at a high speed, arouses landslide surges. Taking the water entry point as a source point, they spread rapidly to surrounding areas, increasing the danger risk of ...
