Impact of Spasticity on Balance Control during Quiet Standing in Persons after Stroke
Background Balance impairments, falls, and spasticity are common after stroke, but the effect of spasticity on balance control after stroke is not well understood. Methods In this cross-sectional study, twenty-seven participants with stroke were divided into two groups, based on ankle plantar flexor spasticity level. Fifteen individuals with high spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) scor...
متن کاملStiffness Control of Balance during Quiet Standing
38 39 Distractions affect postural control, but this mechanism is not well understood. Diversion of 40 resources during cognitive stress may lead to decreased motor drive and postural muscle tone. 41 This may appear as decreased postural stiffness, and increased postural sway amplitude. We 42 hypothesized that dual tasking leads to decreased stiffness and increased sway amplitude. 43 Postural s...
متن کاملOn the control of balance during quiet standing
A computer-interfaced balance board, with facilities for data capture and analysis, and with provision for various forms of biofeedback, was built primarily as a balance retraining aid for stroke and head injury victims and for amputees. The opportunity was taken to do a modelling study of the human balance control system as it presents itself during quiet standing; to apply principles of optim...
متن کاملStiffness control of balance in quiet standing.
Our goal was to provide some insights into how the CNS controls and maintains an upright standing posture, which is an integral part of activities of daily living. Although researchers have used simple performance measures of maintenance of this posture quite effectively in clinical decision making, the mechanisms and control principles involved have not been clear. We propose a relatively simp...
متن کاملDynamics Study of Ankle Joint during Quiet Standing Balance Control with Emphasis on Dominant and Non-dominant Lower Limb
Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dominant lower limb on the correlation between some of the dynamic variables of ankle joint and center of mass during quiet standing balance control. Methods: Twelve healthy females with no known neurological or musculoskeletal disorders, with the mean age of 26±3.5 years, participated in this study. Motion analysis system, force ...
