The interest in virtual reality (VR) applications has been on the rise in recent years. However, the impact of VR on postural stability remains unclear....
The study has two primary objectives: first, to compare postural stability in a 3D-immersed virtual reality environment (VE) and a real environment (RE), and second, to investigate the effect of posit...
The observational study recruited 20 healthy adults (10 male, 10 female, 22.8 ± 1.8 years) who underwent postural stability assessments in both RE and VE. In VE, participants received visual stimuli i...
All postural stability variables were significantly lower in the RE than in the VE (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the VE and EC in terms of sway velocity and sway area (p > 0....
This is the first and only study examining the effect of different visual feedback on postural stability in VE....
Alteration of posturo-respiratory coupling (PRC) may precede postural imbalance in patients with chronic respiratory disease. PRC assessment would be appropriate for early detection of respiratory-rel...
Patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis have postural balance impairments due to uremic syndrome and hemodialysis complications. This study evaluated the factors associated with postural...
This cross-sectional study included patients on hemodialysis [n = 93, 62.0 (16.0) years]. Postural balance was evaluated using a force plate in a static position with eyes opened and eyes closed on a ...
After adjustment for potential confounders, the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the presence of diabetes mellitus and neurological disease and gait speed were significantly associated ...
Poor postural balance was associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus and neurological disease and a slower gait speed in patients on hemodialysis....
The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between improvement of spasticity in hemiplegic patient's upper extremity with Botulinum toxin injection and improvement in postural balance an...
Maintaining static balance is relevant and common in everyday life and it depends on a correct intersegmental coordination. A change or reduction in postural capacity has been linked to increased risk...
In total, 61 healthy participants, 40 young (YO), 21 old participants (OP), and 29 pwPD (13 during medication off, PDoff; 23 during medication on, PDon) were included. Participants stood quietly for 1...
This study aims to explore the potential application of TCA for the assessment of postural stability using IMUs, and secondly, to employ this analysis within the context of neurological diseases, spec...
Comparison of sensors locations revealed significant differences between head, sternum and pelvis for almost all parameters and cohorts. When comparing PDon and PDoff, the TCA revealed differences tha...
While all parameters could differentiate between sensor locations, no group differences could be uncovered except for the TCA that allowed to distinguish between the PD on/off. The potential of the TC...
The research procedure was approved by the ethical committee of the Medical Faculty of Kiel University (D438/18). The study is registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00022998)....
BACKGROUND Although Indigenous Taiwanese are generally known for having excellent athleticism and balance abilities, the correlation between foot characteristics and balance abilities has rarely been ...
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of time-restricted eating (TRE) on neuro-physiological parameters, objective and subjective sleep, pulmonary capacity, and postural balance among women with exc...
Thirty-one participants were assigned to either a TRE group (n = 15, 28.74 ± 9.25 years, 88.32 ± 13.38 kg, and 32.71 ± 5.15 kg/m...
No significant negative effects of TRE were observed for HRV and objective sleep parameters. Only the TRE group improved FEV1 in both sitting (...
This study highlights TRE as a feasible and safe dietary intervention with significant improvements in postural balance and pulmonary function, without any negative impact on HRV or objective sleep as...
Manganese (Mn) plays a significant role in both human health and global industries. Epidemiological studies of exposed populations demonstrate a dose-dependent association between Mn and neuromotor ef...
This study investigated the associations between childhood and adolescent Mn biomarkers and adolescent postural balance in participants from the longitudinal Marietta Communities Actively Researching ...
Participants were recruited into CARES when they were 7-9 y old, and reenrolled at 13-18 years of age. At both time points, participants provided samples of blood, hair, and toenails that were analyze...
CARES participants who completed the adolescent postural balance assessment (...
This study found childhood and adolescent Mn biomarkers were associated with subclinical neuromotor effects in adolescence. This study demonstrates postural balance as a sensitive measure to assess th...
Reactive postural control is an important component of the balance function for fall prevention. Perturbation-based balance exercises improve reactive postural control; however, these exercises requir...
This study aimed to (1) investigate postural balance control on 2-Dimensional (2D) compliant surfaces using directional virtual time-to-contact (d-VTC), a novel method for VTC calculation; and (2) com...
A dual-axis robotic platform was used to simulate 2D surfaces/grounds with varying compliance levels. Twenty healthy young adults stood on the platform with either open or closed eyes. Balance was eva...
The results showed that increasing surface compliance and/or absence of vision caused a significant decrease in VTC mean (all p-values <0.001; all η...
Balance control is compromised by 2D compliant surfaces, which is exacerbated when vision is absent. Among all balance measures, VTC mean measures demonstrated particularly high sensitivity in identif...
