Background The process of growing leads to inter-individual differences in the timing of
growth, maturational, and developmental processes during childhood and adolescence …

This paper assesses the repeatability of force plate postural stability measurements. The
common parameters were investigated for five test durations, two vision conditions, and two …

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate the time course by which children
aged 6-, 8-and 10-year-old adapt and maintain their static balance. Participants (N= 30) …

This longitudinal analysis confirmed a non-monotonic pattern of postural control
development in children from age 5 to 8 years suggested by previous cross-sectional …

Prolonged (> 30 min) unconstrained standing (PUS) was studied in 10 young healthy
subjects. The usual methods of stabilographic analysis assume a random center of pressure …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of development of open-loop
(ballistic) and closed-loop (sensory guided) postural control in young children. Children (n …

This study aimed to examine the gender differences in postural stability among 8–12 year-
old children. Twenty-six children participated in this repeated measures study to measure …

Two experiments are reported that were set up to examine the spatial-temporal boundaries
of postural instability in upright stance as a function of age (60–96 years) and postural …

Developmental changes in the kinematics and kinetics underlying balance control were
studied in 61 children, 9 months to 10 years of age. The children were classified according …

The development of upright postural control has often been investigated using time series of
center of foot pressure (COP), which is proportional to the ankle joint torque (ie, the motor …
