This study aimed to assess modulation of lower leg muscle reflex excitability and co-
contraction during unipedal balancing on compliant surfaces in young and older adults …

Balance relies on several types of sensory information, including somatosensory senses
such as touch and position sense (proprioception). As these senses decline in older adults …

In young adults, performance on a test of response inhibition was recently found to be
correlated with performance on a reactive balance test where automated stepping …

Objective. We investigated the changes of the vestibulospinal tract (VST) and parietoinsular
vestibular cortex (PIVC) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and relation to balance …

Objective: One-leg standing has been used exclusively for static balance testing and training
purposes. We investigated the acute effects of one-leg standing with open or closed eyes on …

Context: Core stability is important for preventing injury and improving performance.
Although various tests for evaluating core stability have been reported to date, information …

Purpose Previous studies demonstrated that providing light finger touch to a stationary
object leads to reduced body sway. The focus of the current exploratory study was on the …

Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) is a progressive disease characterized by cerebellar
ataxia or the posterior spinal cord. Among these, spinocerebellar ataxia type 31 (SCA31) is …

Aims: to investigate the effects of Pilates exercise on the anticipatory activation of selected
lower limb muscles and balance in elderly women who had previous history of falling …

Results: As a preliminary testing, when this assessment scale was applied on non-athlete
individuals in the age group of 35 to 50 years old, nine men (Mean body weight= 79 Kg …
