The purpose of this study was to investigate how attentional focus on body sway affects
postural control during quiet standing. To address this issue, sixteen young healthy adults …

This experiment was designed to investigate whether and how decreasing the amount of
attentional focus invested in postural control could affect bipedal postural control. Twelve …

Research reveals improvements in postural control when focus is placed on movement
effects rather than movement production, and further improvements during the performance …

Research has demonstrated clear advantages of using an external focus of attention in
postural control tasks, presumably since it allows a more automatic control of posture to …

Objectives The postural control dual-task literature has demonstrated greater postural
stability during dual-task in comparison to single task (ie, standing balance alone through …

The dual-task paradigm has previously been used to investigate the attentional demands
associated with postural control. Previous studies have identified both the focus of attention …

We examined whether the attentional focus adopted on a supra-postural task has an
influence on postural control. Similar to Riley, Stoffregen, Grocki, and Turvey (Human …

The present study sought to determine if the postural sway of a subject required to grasp a
tray (motor task) holding a cup filled with water and prevent spilling (mental task), would be …

Postural control is a highly automatized basic activity that requires limited attentional
investments. These investments have been shown to increase from balancing experts to …

In the present study we aimed to determine the attentional cost of postural control during
adolescence by studying the influence of a cognitive task on concurrent postural control. 38 …
