Analysis of Sway in Ballroom Dancing

open access: yesProceedings, 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 ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

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

open access: yesHeliyon, 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

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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)

In Standing, Corticospinal Excitability Is Proportional to COP Velocity Whereas M1 Excitability Is Participant-Specific

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Reductions in the base of support (BOS) make standing difficult and require adjustments in the neural control of sway. In healthy young adults, we determined the effects of reductions in mediolateral (ML) BOS on peroneus longus (PL) motor evoked ...
