Does outstretching the arms improve postural stability?
We spontaneously outstretch our arms when standing upon challenging surfaces, yet the effect of stretching the arms upon postural stability is unknown. We investigated whether stretching out the arms laterally improves postural control during tandem stance on a narrow beam. Twelve healthy participants stood upon a beam, right foot in front of the left foot, for 30s with arms outstretched or dow...
متن کاملDoes structural leg-length discrepancy affect postural control? Preliminary study
BACKGROUND Leg-length inequality results in an altered position of the spine and pelvis. Previous studies on the influence of leg asymmetry on postural control have been inconclusive. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of structural leg-length discrepancy (LLD) on the control of posture. METHODS We studied 38 individuals (19 patients with structural LLD, 19 healthy subjec...
متن کاملPostural Stability 1 Measures of Postural Stability
Dynamic posturography has become an important tool for understanding standing balance in clinical settings. A key test in the NeuroCom dynamic posturography system, the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) provides information about the integration of multiple components of balance. The SOT test leads to an outcome measure called the equilibrium score (ES), which reflects the overall coordination of...
متن کاملDoes Core Stability Training Affect Fundamental Movement Skills in Low Proficiency Children? Evaluation of Performance Process
The present study investigated the effects of 8-weeks of core stability training on fundamental movement skills in children with low proficiency in both locomotor and object control skills. By using a semi-experimental research design. 30 elementary boy students (means age= 8.89 years, SD= 1.06) were recruited and organized in training (n= 15) and control group (n=15). Fundamental movement skil...
متن کاملAgeing and Postural Stability
Approximately 30 percent of the elderly population sustain a fall each year, constituting an important health problem [16]. Falls have different immediate consequences such as hip fractures, and long-term consequences, ranging from restriction of activity to institutionalization [16, 21]. Postural instability is strongly associated with falls and is the best single predictor of falls. Postural ...
