Variability of visually-induced center of pressure displacements is reduced while young adults perform unpredictable saccadic eye movements inside a moving room
(2021-11-01)
This study investigated the modulation of center of pressure (CoP) displacements of young adults as they performed predictable and unpredictable saccadic eye movements in stationary and moving visual scenarios. We also ...
Postural control during cascade ball juggling: Effects of expertise and base of support
(2016-01-01)
Cascade ball juggling is a complex perceptual motor skill which requires efficient postural stabilization. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of experience (expert and intermediate groups) and foot distance ...

RCVibro System: full description of a custom-made vibratory system and its reliability
(2017-11-01)
Background The use of local muscle vibration is a promising technique to improve motor performance in people with movement impairments. Majority of studies have failed to properly describe the used system and its reliability, ...
Instrumental platform for the static alignment of lower limb prostheses
(2020-05-03)
The quality of the alignment and adjustment of lower limb prostheses is fundamental in the rehabilitation process, mainly because it contributes to preventing the prostheses from being abandoned. Prosthesis alignment is ...
Saccadic eye movement performance reduces visual manipulation influence and center of pressure displacements in older fallers
(2022-02-01)
This study examined changes in postural control and gaze performance of faller and non-faller older adults under conditions of visual tasks and optical flow manipulations. Fifteen older non-fallers (69.8 years, ± 3.2) and ...
