Influence of dual-task constraints on the interaction between posture and movement during a lower limb pointing task
(2018-04-01)
One of the challenges regarding human motor control is making the movement fluid and at a limited cognitive cost. The coordination between posture and movement is a necessary requirement to perform daily life tasks. The ...
Effects of a lower limb muscular fatigue on posture–movement interaction during a lower limb pointing task
(2021-01-01)
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of muscular fatigue on the interaction between posture and movement during a lower limb pointing task. Methods: Participants (n = 16), aged 18–30 years, ...
Saccadic eye movements are able to reduce body sway in mildly-affected people with Multiple Sclerosis
(2019-05-01)
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative and inflammatory disease that impacts both visual and postural control. It is currently unknown how the integration between visual and postural control is affected ...
Locomotion and Posture in Older Adults: The Role of Aging and Movement Disorders
(2017-02-07)
This book is an attempt to advance the discussion and improve our understanding about the effects of aging and movement disorders on motor control during walking and postural tasks. Despite these activities are performed ...
Trunk and head displacements stabilized to perform both horizontal and vertical saccadic eye movements
(2022-02-01)
Vision is crucial for humans to interact with their surrounding environment, and postural sway is reduced to allow short eye movements. However, the extent of subtle changes in postural control for horizontal and vertical ...
Controle postural durante o movimento sentado para de pé em crianças e adolescentes com síndrome de Down e fatores biopsicossociais
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Fisioterapia - PPGFtCâmpus São Carlos, 2018-02-26)
Down syndrome (DS) is a health condition that causes changes in neuromotor, sensory, cognitive and musculoskeletal, compromising postural control and adaptive success in tasks. The health condition of the individual according ...
Effects of ankle muscle fatigue and visual behavior on postural sway in young adults
(2019-01-01)
Ankle muscle fatigue has been shown to increase body sway. In addition, body sway in quiet upright standing is reduced when saccadic eye movements are performed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ...
Complex systems approach to the study of posture and locomotion in older people
(2017-02-07)
Traditionally, the aging process has been viewed as something negative, a phenomenon that eventually results in frailty. However, the development and adaptive processes involved with the aging process are now understood ...
Effects of disease severity and medication state on postural control asymmetry during challenging postural tasks in individuals with Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-04-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of disease severity and medication state on postural control asymmetry during challenging tasks in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Nineteen people with PD and ...
Ankle muscle fatigability impairs body sway for more than 24 h
(2022-03-01)
This study aimed to investigate if the impairing in postural control, induced by ankle fatiguing exercise, remains after 24/48 h in young adults. Center of Pressure (CoP) was assessed in 16 participants (23 ± 3 years old) ...
