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 …

Recent epidemiological findings of associations between hearing loss (HL) and poorer
mobility and higher falls risk have increased the demand for ecologically valid experimental …

Background Virtual reality (VR) has recently been explored as a tool for neurorehabilitation
to enable individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) to practice challenging skills in a safe …

Cybersickness is common during virtual reality experiences with head-mounted displays
(HMDs). Previously it has been shown that individual differences in postural activity can …

The frequency of one-legged stance and two-legged stance differs considerably among
sports. We therefore expect the balance ability of athletes from different sports to vary. This …

Background: Previous studies have shown that healthy young adults are able to decrease
their standing postural sway when an additional postural visual task, such as reading, is …

The quantification of postural sway is considered to be an essential part of posturography
and is important for research and clinical utility. A widely used method to calculate the …

Obesity modifies the body geometry by adding mass to different regions and it influences the
biomechanics of activities of daily living. Weight influences postural stability, but there is no …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of reduced visual information on
postural control by comparing low-vision and normal-vision adults in static and dynamic …
