Intermittent use of an anchor system improves postural control in healthy older adults
(2013-07-01)
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 ...
A importância das informações aferentes podais para o controle postural
(2011-05-09)
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 ...
O papel dos sistemas visual, vestibular, somatosensorial e auditivo para o controle postural
(2011-08-01)
The maintenance of a given body orientation is obtained by the complex relation between sensory information and muscle activity. Therefore, this study purpose was to review the role of visual, somatosensory, vestibular and ...
Task demand effects on postural control in older adults
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-06-01)
The literature shows conflicting results regarding older adults' (OA) postural control performance. Differing task demands amongst scientific studies may contribute to such ambiguous results. Therefore, the purpose of this ...
Efeitos de tarefas cognitivas no controle postural de idosos: Uma revisão sistemática
(2011-07-01)
Demanding attention in order to keep postural balance increases with aging and with the presence of concurrent tasks that require information processing. Several studies have demonstrated that motor performance can be ...

Physical activity and postural control in the elderly: Coupling between visual information and body sway
(Karger, 2005-01-01)
Background: Aging is characterized by a decline in the postural control performance, which is based on a coherent and stable coupling between sensory information and motor action. Therefore, changes in postural control in ...
