De effecten van balanstraining op de postural control van patiënten met enkelinstabiliteit is onderzocht door middel van een literatuurstudie. Op basis van deze literatuurstudie kan worden geconcludeerd dat balanstraining een positief effect heeft op de dynamische postural control. De resultaten op de …

Optimal postural control is an essential capacity in daily life and can be highly variable. The purpose of this study was to investigate if young people have the ability to choose the optimal postural control strategy according to the postural condition and to investigate if non-specific low back pain …

Risk of falling is a major problem among the senior population and it results due to poor postural control. Studies have shown the benefit of virtual reality-based training in postural control and adaptation, since it can be used to manipulate visual information. The present study aims to investigate …

Title The influence of postural control exercises on re-learning gait in patients diagnosed with hemiplegia as a result of cortical CVA. Main Question What is the influence of postural control exercises on re-learning gait in patients diagnosed with hemiplegia as a result of cortical CVA? Objective To …

The basic level of postural control is functionally active from early infancy onwards: young infants possess a repertoire of direction-specific postural adjustments. Whether or not direction-specific adjustments are used depends on the child's age and the nature of the postural task. The second level …

Background Information: Slumped sitting has been associated with low back pain. Low back pain has shown to affect postural stability. In the lower back of a healthy person, little is known about the effects slump sitting has on motor control and sway. Objective: To investigate if there are differences …

Patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP) may use postural control strategies that differ from healthy subjects. To study these possible differences, we measured the amount and structure of postural sway, and the response to muscle vibration in a working cohort of 215 subjects. Subjects were standing …

The aim of this study was to examine differences in the performance of children with probable Developmental Coordination Disorder (p-DCD) and balance problems (BP) and typical developing children (TD) on a Wii Fit task and to measure the effect on balance skills after a Wii Fit intervention. Twenty-eight …

Introduction: In recent years some researchers investigated the effect of lumbar muscle fatigue on postural control in quiet standing and sitting. The goal of this study was to transfer the question if changes in postural control are visible after fatigue into a functional, dynamic setting. Research …

Background: In many sports, maintaining balance is necessary to compete at a high level. Also, in many health problems, balance is impaired. Postural sway (PS) is often used as an indicator of upright balance control, and physical activity (PA) might enhance balance control. However, the relationship …
