This paper focused on the relationship between trunk stiffness and postural control during
unstable seated balancing. We hypothesized that an increase in trunk stiffness would …

Background Emerging evidence suggests poor core stability is a risk factor for low back and
lower extremity injuries in athletes. Recently the trunk stability test (TST) and unilateral hip …

Introduction Sitting on an unstable surface is a common paradigm to investigate trunk
postural control among individuals with low back pain (LBP), by minimizing the influence …

Deficits in postural control are one of the hallmarks of disability in children with cerebral
palsy (CP). Yet, much remains unknown regarding the etiology of postural deficits in these …

This study investigated a representative set of 39 parameters characterizing center of
pressure movements (sway) in seated balancing, with the aims to determine test–retest …

Background context A subgroup of patients with acute to subacute low back pain (LBP)
presenting with trunk movement control deficits, pain provocation with segmental testing …

Postural instability and falls, both common in Parkinson's disease (PD), have been related to
altered trunk control. In this study, we investigated dynamic trunk control with subjects …

Study Design. An experimental design comparing kinematic changes in the lumbar spine
axis in subjects with and without low back pain (LBP) while standing on one leg with and …

Measures of postural steadiness–known as posturography–are commonly used for balance
assessment during quiet standing. Although quiet sitting balance may be studied via …
