Background Backward walking (BW) training is thought to impact balance performance
through improving motor system proprioception and gait characteristic, but relevant …

Objective. Impaired static stability and proprioception have been observed in individuals
with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), which serves as a major factor increasing risk of fall. This …

Objectives To assess intrarater reliability, agreement and construct validity of the Star
Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) …

Background Motor control dysfunction persisting during symptom remission in persons with
recurrent low back pain (LBP) may contribute to the recurrence of pain. Objectives To …

Background Comparing the efficacy of alternative therapeutic strategies for the rehabilitation
of motor function in chronically impaired individuals is often inconclusive. For example, a …

Coordination of the trunk and hips is crucial for successful dynamic balance in many
activities of daily living. Persons with recurrent low back pain (rLBP), both while symptomatic …

Introduction. Triple hop for distance (THD) is an inexpensive test used clinically to evaluate
lower extremity functional performance. Given known relationships between THD and lower …

Background: Balance deficits underlie a number of disorders and can exacerbate the
primary condition if not addressed. Limits of stability, usually evaluated via force plates, can …

Safe mountain hiking requires precise control of dynamic foot–ground interactions. In
addition to vision and vestibular afferents, limb proprioception, sensorimotor control loops …

In addition to a vestibular system, birds uniquely have a balance-sensing organ within the
pelvis, called the lumbosacral organ (LSO). The LSO is well developed in terrestrial birds …
