Posture and balance may be affected in many spine or lower-limb disorders. An extensive
evaluation including clinical tests and movement analysis techniques may be necessary to …

We studied the effects of fatigue of ankle dorsiflexors on multi-muscle synergies defined as
co-varied adjustments of elemental variables (M-modes) that stabilize a task-related …

Introduction There is renewed interest in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the development of
minimally invasive approaches. The anterior and Röttinger approaches are attractive for …

Although previous studies have investigated the effects of bilateral muscle fatigue on
bipedal postural control, whether and how the central nervous system could adapt to …

In order to verify whether orthostatic posturography (OP) can support clinical assessment of
total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA), 81 subjects with THA and 100 with TKA were …

Objective The aim of the study was to assessment the impact of hip osteoarthritis on postural
stability. Methods One hundred and twenty-five randomly selected women 20–85 years old …

Total hip arthroplasty is very successful in alleviating the pain from osteoarthritis. However,
deficits in lower limb strength, gait, and balance after surgery has identified this group at risk …

Introduction After total hip arthroplasty (THA), patients continue to have muscular, functional
and postural deficits. The literature seems to support the use of postoperative rehabilitation …

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Total hip arthroplasty affects 3–5% of the elderly
population. Therefore, the effectiveness of surgery and the ensuing rehabilitation is of great …

BACKGROUND: Among new technological rehabilitation systems, there are proprioceptive
platforms. These could be useful to improve static and dynamic balance. OBJECTIVE: To …
