Since the mid-2000s, perturbation-based balance training has been gaining interest as an
efficient and effective way to prevent falls in older adults. It has been suggested that this task …

This review is part of the series on the clinical neurophysiology of movement disorders. It
focuses on Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism. The topics covered include the …

Balance impairment is a major mechanism behind falling along with environmental hazards.
Under physiological conditions, ageing leads to a progressive decline in balance control per …

The movement system was identified as the focus of our expertise as physical therapists in
the revised vision statement for the profession adopted by the American Physical Therapy …

Background As a strategy to maintain postural control, the stiffening strategy (agonist-
antagonist co-contractions) is often considered dysfunctional and associated with poor …

Postural stability of the body depends on many factors. One of them is physical activity. It is
especially important in the case of sports or professional work, which combine mobility with …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be used to study activity patterns in
different brain cortical areas involved in balance control. This systematic review aims to …

Maintaining balance stability while turning in a quasi-static stance and/or in dynamic motion
requires proper recovery mechanisms to manage sudden center-of-mass displacement …

Recent studies have shown balance recovery can be enhanced via task-specific training,
referred to as perturbation-based balance training (PBT). These interventions rely on …

Abstract Study objectives were to:(1) quantify stability in children and young adults using
cochlear implants with concurrent cochleovestibular dysfunction (CI-V) during balance …
