conclusions a short-term wbv exercise improves isotonic strength of the leg muscle and dynamic balance, while creatine supplementation with and without wbv training increases isometric strength of the leg muscle and mobility in elderly women. background a decline in neuromuscular function can cause a decrease in physical fitness in elderly women. objective the present study aimed at investigati...

In this study, we examined intertester reliability of dynamic and static balance using the Chattecx Dynamic Balance System. Ten female and two male subjects were randomly assigned to two testers and completed ten, 10-second preprogrammed double- and single-leg test conditions. Balance was measured as postural sway in centimeters by the Chattecx Dynamic Balance System. Static balance consisted o...

BACKGROUND In the Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), the association of ankle muscle impairment with knee, hip and abdominal weakness causes complex alterations of static (postural) and dynamic (walking) balance, increasing the risk of recurrent falls. Stereophotogrammetric system and body-worn gyroscopes were used to focus on locomotor capacity and upper body movements in FSHD pati...

Ricotti L. Static and dynamic balance in young athletes. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 616628, 2011. The creation of a mature athlete necessarily passes through the expression of his potential during each phase of his development. Young athletes’ trainers often neglect specific balance programs, above all in certain sports (e.g. soccer) where balance is poorly considered, but that is ...

This article studies a static scheduling method based on workload balancing in the continuous case. An equation is presented for the case when the workload, as continuous function is equally distributed onto processors based on integrals. A sufficient condition is also established for the fully covering property. Finally, some computational results are given to prove that the continuous case is...

Materials and methods In a comparative study, a Bertec force platform was used to record center of pressure (COP) data. Ten female adolescents with hyperkyphosis (mean age: 13.9 years, mean Cobb angle 52°) were compared to 14 age-matched controls (average age 14.8 years) in static and dynamic balance tests. In static tests, we used two visual conditions (eyes open and closed) and the subjects w...

[Purpose] This study examined the effect of the degree of the contact area between the insoles and soles on static balance. [Subjects and Methods] Thirteen healthy male and female adults voluntarily participated. All of the subjects wore three different types of insoles (no orthotic insole, partial contact, full contact) in the present experiment. The subjects were instructed to place both feet...
