Increased body sway in phobic patients exposed to images of spiders

Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry, 2020
Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the body sway response in specific phobia (SP) patients and healthy controls while viewing neutral, phobic, and disgusting images.

Internal Consistency of Sway Measures via Embedded Head-Mounted Accelerometers: Implications for Neuromotor Investigations

Sensors, 2021
Accelerometers are being increasingly incorporated into neuroimaging devices to enable real-time filtering of movement artifacts. In this study, we evaluate the reliability of sway metrics derived from these accelerometers in a standard eyes-open balance

The neurovestibular challenges of astronauts and balance patients: some past countermeasures and two alternative approaches to elicitation, assessment and mitigation

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2016
Astronauts and vestibular patients face analogous challenges to orientation function due to adaptive exogenous (weightlessness-induced) or endogenous (pathology-induced) alterations in the processing of acceleration stimuli.

Concurrent validity of a developed accelerometry-based device for postural sway assessment [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020
Postural control is one factor related to falls. Many instruments are available to objectively evaluate postural control performance. However, feasibility and applicability is limited by setting and financial restraints.

Relationship between Cognitive Function and Sway of Body in Standing Posture: A Cross-Sectional Study

Geriatrics, 2023
Background: The influence of neurological or balance dysfunction on cognitive impairment has not been well studied. We compared the results of the balance test, measured by either head or foot sway to consider whole body sway, with those of the cognitive

Analysis of Sway in Ballroom Dancing

Proceedings, 2018
According to syllabi of ballroom dancing, the sway is explained as the inclination of the body towards the inside of the turn. This explanation is questionable and a more adequate explanation is given based on a mechanical analysis with a new concept of ...

New methods of posturographic data analysis may improve the diagnostic value of static posturography in multiple sclerosis

Heliyon, 2021
Background: Early and accurate diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is crucial for its effective treatment. In MS diagnostic, neuronal networks that control posture and movement are of particular importance, which performance can be assessed using static

Acute and chronic effects of stretching on balance: a systematic review with multilevel meta-analysis

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionBalance is a multifactorial construct with high relevance in, e.g., everyday life activities. Apart from sensorimotor control, muscle strength and size are positively linked with balance performance.

The Effects of Leg Preference on Transient Characteristics of Body Sway During Single-Leg Stance: A Cross-Sectional Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Instrumented assessments of quiet-stance postural control typically involve recording and analyzing of body sway signal, most often the center of pressure (CoP) movement.

Instrumented functional reach test differentiates individuals at high risk for Parkinson’s disease from controls

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
The functional reach test (FR) as a complex measure of balance including limits of stability has been proven to differentiate between patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and controls. Recently it has been shown that the instrumentation of the FR (iFR)
