Filter by:The aim of this research is to find and compare the effect of Motor control exercises with and without neural mobilization on postural control of older adults.
Goal: Various studies suggest a negative association between spatial neglect and motor outcomes after stroke (Barrett & Muzaffar 2014) (Kwakkel 2014). Our goal is to assess: - The longitudinal interaction of the recovery of spatial neglect with the recovery of motor function and outcomes (such as paresis, sitting balance and standing balance) - Whether the association is different across the different subtypes of spatial neglect (visuospatial/personal/ADL-related) - The role of compensation strategies for balance control in patients with spatial neglect To do so, we will perform a longitudinal cohort study in which we will repetitively assess post-stroke patients using a comprehensive assessment approach for both spatial neglect and motor outcomes. With regards to neglect, we will evaluate various aspects of both visuospatial and personal neglect. For motor outcomes, we will combine clinical and instrumented (biomechanical) assessment methods to evaluate post-stroke recovery of leg paresis, (sitting and standing) balance and gait.
The aim of this study is to evaluate postural control in children with idiopathic toe walking using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System), which is reported to be a reliable and valid instrument for detecting changes in balance and postural control in the literature.
The relationship between increased femoral anteversion and postural control in healthy children has not been studied in the current literature. To our knowledge there is no study to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion by computerized posturography. We aimed to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System).
This study measures the effects of an Adapted Physical Activity on postural control of residents in nursing home. Half of participants will follow a program training 3 times a week during 8 weeks, while the other half will receive the usual accompaniment.
In this study the investigators will examine the effects of core stabilization exercises on respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions and postural control in hearing-impaired children.
Elastic Bandaging Therapy (BET) is a technique that consists of the application of elastic adhesive tape directed on a skin, and is used for pain reduction, improvement of flexibility, postural alignment. It is believed that it can help proprioception by increasing or reducing muscle tension by acting on motor coordination and balance. The present study aims to evaluate the effect of the application of different BET strategies on the postural balance of healthy young women through measures obtained through a proper instrument for a balance assessment, a force platform.
The aim was to analyze the influence of fatigue on the dynamic postural control in one-leg standing and in jump landing, followed by stabilization or side jumps, and to compare athletes of different levels with control subjects.
Older people tend to live a sedentary lifestyle which causes a loss of cardiorespiratory fitness, impaired postural stability and a increased risk of falls. Social isolation of older people leads to depression and other mental diseases. However, numerous studies show that age-related degradation processes and functional limitations can be counteracted by physical activity. Various studies show that alpine skiing is a complex sport that places demands on the cardiorespiratory, neuromuscular and sensorimotor systems. With studies providing evidence to suggest alpine skiing is an appropriate activity for elderly as a health-enhancing sport, perhaps Alpine skiing could provide the physical activity needed to counteract age-related degradation processes and loss of function. To date, there is a lack of long-term intervention studies devoted to this topic. The aim of this study was to monitor the long-term effects of skiing on the health of older people, as to age-related muscle breakdown, cardiorespiratory fitness, body stability, general mobility and the overall psychological state of the subjects.
The goal of the present study was to objectively evaluate the postural behaviour of type II obese patients as compared to adults showing a normal body mass index (BMI) in critical postural tasks.
