Neck pain has been considered a costly musculoskeletal problem, with impacts on health and quality of life of individuals may be related to repetitive strain and maintenance of postures. These changes cause mechanical and ...

Sensory information from visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems plays an important role in postural control. Deficits in postural control performance are the primary cause of the increased number of falls during ...

Haptic information, provided by a non-rigid tool (i.e., an anchor system), can reduce body sway in individuals who perform a standing postural task. However, it was not known whether or not continuous use of the anchor ...

In order to evaluate the effects of uncertainty about direction of mechanical perturbation and supra-postural task constraint on postural control young adults had their upright stance perturbed while holding a tray in a ...

The aim of this study was to examine postural control in children with cerebral palsy performing a bilateral shoulder flexion to grasp a ball from a sitting posture. The participants were 12 typically developing children ...

Introduction. The postural control involves a complex mechanism for connecting the afferent and efferent pathways and their integration into the central nervous system (CNS). Three systems are responsible to obtain outside ...

Postural control is the ability of a person to hold himself in various positions, either static or dynamic. Cerebral Palsy(PC)is ac ondition that leads to deficits in this ability. Objective: to verify the responses of ...

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuropathology characterized by infiltration of inflammatory cells in the central nervous system (CNS). Some studies have suggested that cumulative damage to DNA, induced ...
