In recent years, concepts and tools from dynamical systems theory have been successfully
applied to the study of movement systems, contradicting traditional views of variability as …

Objective: To answer the following clinical questions:(1) Is poor postural control associated
with increased risk of a lateral ankle sprain?(2) Is postural control adversely affected after …

Nonlinear Pedagogy is a powerful paradigm for understanding human movement and for
designing effective teaching, coaching and training programmes in sport, exercise and …

Purpose: Limited normative data are available for the unipedal stance test (UPST), making it
difficult for clinicians to use it confidently to detect subtle balance impairments. The purpose …

Context: The foot is the most distal segment in the lower extremity chain and represents a
relatively small base of support on which the body maintains balance (particularly in single …

Gait parameters that can be measured with simple instrumentation may hold promise for
identifying individuals at risk of falling. Increased variability of gait is associated with …

The influence of attention on the dynamical structure of postural sway was examined in 30
healthy young adults by manipulating the focus of attention. In line with the proposed direct …

Characteristic patterns of variation over time, namely rhythms, represent a defining feature of
complex systems, one that is synonymous with life. Despite the intrinsic dynamic …

ACL injury has been associated with a decrease in proprioceptive performance and
specifically postural control. Tests of postural control have been criticised for not being …
