A common way of predicting falling risks in elderly people can be to study center of pressure
(CP) trajectories during undisturbed upright stance maintenance. By estimating the …

The authors investigated age-related changes in postural control in 33 healthy young adults
(18-31 years), 29 seniors (62-75 years), and 22 elderly people (75-96 years). A force …

Background In numerous laboratory-based perturbation experiments, differences in the
balance recovery performance of elderly fallers and non-fallers are moderate or absent. This …

Background. An ability to predict risk of future falling is needed in order to target high-risk
individuals for preventive intervention. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability …

Abstract Sit-to-walk (STW) is a commonly performed activity of daily living that requires a
precise coordination between momentum generation and balance control. However, there is …

In 1836, English physician Marshall Hall in his lectures on the nervous system posited that
proprioception, vestibular function, and vision underlie postural control. In 1851, German …

Postural sway during quiet standing is associated with falls risk in older adults. The aim of
this study was to investigate the utility of a range of accelerometer-derived parameters of …

Objective. The temporal and spatial features of body segmental movements of the head,
trunk, thigh, shank and foot in response to a fast speed postural disturbance were compared …

Background: Changes in postural sway and gait patterns due to simultaneously performed
cognitive (CI) and/or motor interference (MI) tasks have previously been reported and are …

BACKGROUND: A cross-sectional retrospective study of parameters reflecting balance
function in elderly fallers and non-fallers was conducted to better understand postural …
