Bioceramic fabrics improve quiet standing posture and handstand stability in expert gymnasts.
Bioceramic fabrics have been claimed to improve blood circulation, thermoregulation and muscle relaxation, thereby also improving muscular activity. Here we tested whether bioceramic fabrics have an effect on postural control and contribute to improve postural stability. In Experiment 1, we tested whether bioceramic fabrics contribute to reduce body-sway when maintaining standard standing postu...
متن کاملRegularity of Center of Pressure Trajectories in Expert Gymnasts during Bipedal Closed-Eyes Quiet Standing
We compared postural control of expert gymnasts (G) to that of non-gymnasts (NG) during bipedal closed-eyes quiet standing using conventional and nonlinear dynamical measures of center of foot pressure (COP) trajectories. Earlier findings based on COP classical variables showed that gymnasts exhibited a better control of postural balance but only in demanding stances. We examined whether the ef...
متن کاملStability Areas During Quiet Standing
The experiments performed in our laboratory revealed that able-bodied subjects use four different high-level control strategies to maintain stable quiet standing, and that there is a direct correlation between these control strategies and the position of the subject's center of pressure (COP). The overall COP area was divided into four zones: a high preference zone, a low preference zone, an un...
متن کاملCan Quiet Standing Posture Predict Compensatory Postural Adjustment?
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze whether quiet standing posture is related to compensatory postural adjustment. INTRODUCTION The latest data in clinical practice suggests that static posture may play a significant role in musculoskeletal function, even in dynamic activities. However, no evidence exists regarding whether static posture during quiet standing is related to postural...
متن کاملPhase plane analysis of stability in quiet standing.
We analyzed the standing balance control of 11 healthy subjects and 15 subjects with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH) using phase plane (velocity versus displacement) plots. We hypothesized that maintaining postural stability requires control of both the position and momentum of the center of gravity (CG) and infer that it is advantageous to use both velocity and displacement data to cha...
