Influence of High and Low Groove Music on Postural Sway Dynamics

چکیده
Standing balance control relies on multisensory feedback, but little is known about the influence of periodically varying sounds on this process. The level of sensorimotor activation has been shown to be highly correlated with the concept of musical groove. We presented musical stimuli with high and low groove ratings to participants (N=40) as center of pressure (CoP) was recorded using a force platform. We found an effect of groove on radial sway in both non-musician and musician groups, with the high groove condition accompanied by the least amount of sway. Further analysis revealed a stronger correlation between musical events and postural sway deviations in the high groove condition when compared with the low groove condition, providing support for auditory-motor entrainment in postural sway. Our results show that periodicity in music can reduce sway variability in standing balance, possibly due to involuntary motor entrainment.

Contributions of delayed visual feedback and cognitive task load to postural dynamics.
In this experiment, we examined the extent to which postural control is influenced by visual and cognitive task performance. Fourteen healthy young participants performed a balance task in eyes-open (EO) and delayed visual feedback (DVF) conditions. DVF was presented at delays ranging from 0 to 1200ms in 300ms increments. Cognitive load was implemented by a simple, serial arithmetic task. High ...

Background: Lumbosacral orthosis (LSO) is commonly used for the treatment of back pain. The clinical andmechanical effectiveness of this device has been repeatedly investigated in several studies; however, its sensorimotoreffectiveness has been rarely considered. Regarding this, the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect ofa non-extensible LSO on postural stabi...
متن کاملLow visual acuity is associated with the decrease in postural sway.
Vision contributes to upright postural control by providing afferent feedback to the cerebellum. Vision is generally classified into central and peripheral vision, but little is known about the respective role of central and peripheral vision for postural control with different visual acuity levels. This study examined the influence of visual acuity and visual field conditions on upright postur...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in postural sway in children at high and low risk for developing alcohol-related disorders.
BACKGROUND To utilize the power of latent growth analysis to evaluate changes in postural sway during development in children who are either at high or low risk for developing alcoholism. METHODS A total of 629 assessments of postural sway have been performed in children and adolescents (n = 126) who were evaluated annually over a 7-year period. RESULTS Latent curve models indicated that th...
