This review addresses the possible structural and functional adaptations of the postural
function to motor experience. Evidence suggests that postural performance and strategy …

The cerebellum is best known for its role in controlling motor behaviors. However, recent
work supports the view that it also influences non-motor behaviors. The contribution of the …

After immobilization, patients show impaired postural control and increased risk of falling.
Therefore, loss of balance control should already be counteracted during immobilization …

Background: Balance challenges are associated with not only the aging process but also a
wide variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders. However, relatively little is known …

Classical studies in animal preparations suggest a strong role for spinal control of posture. In
humans it is now established that the cerebral cortex contributes to postural control of …

Strength training has, in recent years, been shown to be beneficial for people with Parkinson
disease and multiple sclerosis. Consensus regarding its utility for these disorders …

Abstract Treatment of motor symptoms of degenerative cerebellar ataxia remains difficult.
Yet there are recent developments that are likely to lead to significant improvements in the …

The cerebellum is essentially involved in movement control and plays a critical role in motor
learning. It has remained controversial whether patients with degenerative cerebellar …

It is well known that the cerebellum is important for movement control and plays a critical role
in balance and locomotion. As such, one of the most characteristic and sensitive signs of …

Background. Treatment of genetic degenerative ataxia is currently based on symptom
management and maintenance of function. However, utilization of rehabilitation is limited …
