SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The analysis of centre of pressure (COP) excursions
is used as an index of postural stability in standing. Conflicting data have been reported over …

Background: The maintenance of balance and body orientation in humans is guaranteed by
the adequate functioning of the postural control system. The investigation of this control has …

Quantitative assessment is crucial for the evaluation of human postural balance. The force
plate system is the key quantitative balance assessment method. The purpose of this study …

In walking the human body is never in balance. Most of the time the trunk is supported by
one leg and the centre of mass (CoM)'falls' to the contralateral side. In dynamical situations …

CONTEXTUALIZAÇÃO: A manutenção do equilíbrio e da orientação corporal em humanos
é garantida pelo adequado funcionamento do sistema de controle postural. A investigação …

This systematic review investigated whether healthy older adults benefit from training
interventions in motor–cognitive dual-task (DT) situations and which specific aspects of the …

The purpose of this study was to investigate postural control in children with Autism
Spectrum Disorders (ASD) during static and dynamic postural challenges. We evaluated …

Centre of foot pressure (CoP) measures, computed from a force platform, are commonly
used to assess individual's postural control during unperturbed stance. The purpose of the …

Despite a history of a lateral ankle sprain, some individuals (copers) return to high-level
activities (ie jumping, pivoting) without recurrent injury or loss of function while others …

Total body center of mass (TBCM) is a useful kinematic measurement of body sway.
However, expensive equipment and high technical requirement limit the use of motion …
