Background The “SEBT group,” which includes the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), its
modified version (mSEBT), and the Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ), is used to …

Background: Positive expectations (ie, placebo effect) can improve postural control during
quiet standing. This raises an important question: if postural control is susceptible to positive …

The purpose of this study was to assess the association between muscle thickness and echo
intensity of the knee extensors and ankle plantarflexors with postural sway, mobility and …

Purpose The purpose of the present study was to determine whether there are sex
differences in fatigue-induced changes in quiet standing and dynamic balance and establish …

Background Studies have shown that restricted compared to free arm movement negatively
affects balance performance during balance assessment and this is reinforced when the …

There is emerging evidence that mechanical properties of in vivo muscle tissues are
associated with postural sway during quiet standing. However, it is unknown if the observed …

Emerging evidence highlights that arm movements exert a substantial and functionally
relevant contribution on quiet standing balance control in young adults. Ageing is associated …

Background It is firmly established that postural threat seems to lead to an increased
reliance on an ankle control ('stiffening') strategy. However, little is known about how …

Objective In children, studies have shown that balance performance is worse in boys
compared to girls and further studies revealed inferior performance when arm movement …

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of arm movements on postural control
when standing under different sensory conditions in healthy young and older adults. Fifteen …
