Kinematics and Energetics of Nut-Cracking in Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus libidinosus) in Piaui, Brazil
(WILEY-LISS, 2009)
Wild bearded capuchins (Cebus libidinosus, quadrupedal, medium-sized monkeys) crack nuts using large stones. We examined the kinematics and energetics of the nut-cracking action of two adult males and two adult females. ...
Older adults are incapable of changing sensory-motor coupling during upright stance with visual manipulation and different attentional demands
(2017-02-07)
Postural control functioning is characterized by adaptive adjustments, which involves several central nervous system centers. This study investigated the sensory-motor coupling in older and younger adults during concurrent ...
The use of somatosensory information during the acquisition of independent upright stance
(Elsevier B.V., 1999-01-01)
This study investigated developmental changes in the use of a contact surface during the acquisition of upright posture. Standing infants were longitudinally examined at four developmental epochs: pulling to stand (PS); ...

(Elsevier B.V., 1999-01-01)
This study investigated developmental changes in the use of a contact surface during the acquisition of upright posture. Standing infants were longitudinally examined at four developmental epochs: pulling to stand (PS); ...
Manipulating vibratory devices’ orientation and position enhances proprioceptive disturbance during upright stance
(2016-04-02)
Abstract: We tested local vibration effects during upright standing considering: (i) the orientation of vibratory devices in relation to muscle fibres; (ii) the muscle region stimulated; and (iii) the number of stimulation ...
Relationship between postural control in upright stance and virtual reality in post-stroke individuals
(Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná, 2020-07-24)
Changes in FDB and soleus muscle activity after a train of stimuli during upright stance
(ASSOCIACAO BRASILEIRA PESQUISA POS-GRADUACAO FISIOTERAPIA-ABRAPG-FTSAO CARLOS SP, 2012)
Background: Evidence of self-sustained muscle activation following a brief electrical stimulation has been reported in the literature for certain muscles. Objectives: This report shows that the foot muscle (Flexor Digitorum ...
Parkinson's disease patients with dominant hemibody affected by the disease rely more on vision to maintain upright postural control
(2015-12-01)
This study assesses the association between disease onset side (dominant or non-dominant) and vision on postural control of Parkinson's disease patients. Patient volunteers composed two groups, according to the onset side ...
Effects of joint immobilization on standing balance
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
We investigated the effect of joint immobilization on the postural sway during quiet standing. We hypothesized that the center of pressure (COP), rambling, and trembling trajectories would be affected by joint immobilization. ...
