Balance impairment is a major mechanism behind falling along with environmental hazards.
Under physiological conditions, ageing leads to a progressive decline in balance control per …

Background Static balancing assessment is often complemented with dynamic balancing
tasks. Numerous dynamic balancing assessment methods have been developed in recent …

Although the ability to recover balance in the lateral direction has important implications with
regard to fall risk in older adults, the effect of visual input on balance recovery in response to …

Objective Early postural instability (PI) is a red flag for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
(PD). Several patients, however, fall within the first three years of disease, particularly when …

Maintaining balance stability while turning in a quasi-static stance and/or in dynamic motion
requires proper recovery mechanisms to manage sudden center-of-mass displacement …

Postural control is a complex sensorimotor skill that is fundamental to our daily life. The
abilities to maintain and recover balance degrade with age. However, the time decay of …

We investigated the adaptation of balancing behavior during a continuous, predictable
perturbation of stance consisting of 3-min backward and forward horizontal sinusoidal …

Upper body movements during walking provide information about balance control and gait
stability. Typically developing (TD) children normally present a progressive decrease of …

In this paper a novel electrically actuated parallel robot with three degrees-of-freedom (3
DOF) for dynamic postural studies is presented. The design has been described, the …

Abstract Background Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a widespread progressive neurologic
disease with consequent impairments in daily activities. Disorders of balance are frequent …
