Dual-task (DT) consists of the performance of two tasks simultaneously. An index of DT
difficulty has been linked to decreased postural control. Because a wide range of DT is …

Human posture recognition technology is widely used in the fields of healthcare, human-
computer interaction, and sports. The use of a Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave …

In 1836, English physician Marshall Hall in his lectures on the nervous system posited that
proprioception, vestibular function, and vision underlie postural control. In 1851, German …

Abstract Changes in muscle and tendon stiffness may lead to falls in older adults by affecting
joint stability and muscle function. This study aims to investigate the changes in stiffness in …

Background Haptic information provided by the anchors reduces postural sway while
standing upright. It is unclear whether this benefit would remain in the presence of cognitive …

Study design A prospective, observational study. Objectives To assess the attentional
demands of using haptic modalities during walking using a multi-task paradigm in young …

Background Prior studies have shown that older adults reduced trunk acceleration when
walking on a balance beam with haptic inputs provided by anchors; however, it is unknown …

Some investigators have demonstrated that an anchor system can improve postural control
in elderly persons during balance tasks, but none have reported on the use of this approach …

Postural control relies on three principal sensory systems: vision, vestibular and
proprioceptive; that are affected by aging. When performing a cognitive task concomitantly …

Background Older adults are benefited from the continuous tactile information to enhance
postural control. Therefore, the aim was to evaluate the effect of the haptic anchors during …
