OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze whether quiet standing posture is related
to compensatory postural adjustment. INTRODUCTION The latest data in clinical practice …

In human quiet standing, the relative position between ankle joint centre and line of gravity is
neurally regulated within tight limits. The regulation of the knee and hip configuration is …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between the sensory and anthropometric
variables in the quiet standing. Methods. One hundred individuals (50 men, 50 women; 20 …

Quiet stance is often modelled as an inverse pendulum, restricted to rotation at the ankle
with only one degree of freedom (DoF)(Winter, 1998). However, in reality dynamic postural …

Previous studies have reported that motor behavior is affected by short-term physical
inactivity using cast immobilization; however, the effects of inactivity on postural sway are not …

Clinicians frequently incorporate unstable sitting devices into training plans for improving
proximal postural muscle control; however, the effect of unstable sitting conditions on …

BACKGROUND: The aim of rehabilitation is to optimize functional recovery and frequently
following injury, the uninjured limb is used as measure to compare with the injured limb. This …

The aims of the present study are twofold:(1) to compare the postural control mechanisms of
young and elderly people as well as in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients during quiet …

Measures of postural steadiness–known as posturography–are commonly used for balance
assessment during quiet standing. Although quiet sitting balance may be studied via …

Intuitively, a broad stance (ie, standing with the feet farther apart than usual) should
significantly improve postural stability. However, this intuition was not confirmed in quiet …
