Background Current research suggests that elevated levels of anxiety have a negative
impact on the regulation of balance. However, most studies to date examined only global …

Postural control is known to depend on sensory and cognitive factors. Little is known about
how children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) regulate static balance, and to what …

Inferring relations between cognitive processes and postural control is a relatively topical
challenge in developmental neurology. This study investigated the effect of a concurrent …

It has been just over 20 years since the effects of height-induced threat on human postural
control were first investigated. Raising the height of the support surface on which individuals …

The present study examined, in children aged 4–11 and in adults, the postural control
modifications when attention was oriented voluntary on postural sway. Since (1) there are …

Introduction Postural threat elicits modifications to standing balance. However, the
underlying neural mechanism (s) responsible remain unclear. Shifts in attention focus …

Electroencephalographic (EEG) research indicates changes in adults' low frequency bands
of frontoparietal brain areas executing different balance tasks with increasing postural …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of concurrent tasks on
postural sway in children. Methods: Nineteen fourth-grade students, while standing on a …

The authors examined the interaction between the development of postural control and the
development of the executive function of attention in 13 children and 6 adults in dual-task …

Background: Balance challenges are associated with not only the aging process but also a
wide variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders. However, relatively little is known …
