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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yesSensors, 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.

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

open access: yesApplied 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 ...

Effect of Eye-Object Distance on Body Sway during Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2018
Gazing at objects at a near distance (small eye-object distance) can reduce body sway. However, whether body sway is regulated by movement in the mediolateral or anteroposterior direction remains unclear.
