A METHOD FOR DYNAMIC BALANCE
Dynamic balance is a very important function of the human biological control system. Humans have learned to walk on uneven terrain, keeping the body posture in the vertical position by sensing the direction of gravity. The adaptation of this skill to operations of a truly unstable autonomous mobile …

Physical and neurophysiological factors influencing dynamic balance
Static and dynamic balance are essential in daily and sports life. Many factors have been identified as influencing static balance control, two of which are carrying additional weight and localized muscle fatigue but their influence on dynamic balance in sport activities has not been fully …

Design of a dynamic balance assessment system
… the test subject was able to maintain a state of balance or how long it took them to return to that state of balance. This state of balance would be determined by measuring the subject's postural sway by using a foot pressure profile plate to determine how much deviation there was during testing. …

Topology of learning and correction in dynamic balance
… look at a concrete example from posture control, balance, to understand how learning modifies it. This research focuses on identifying an algorithm looking at the process of correction during dynamic balance. We outline an experiment whereby healthy subjects attempt to learn to balance on a …

The effects of balance training on dynamic balance capabilities in the elite Australian rules footballer
The ability to balance on a single leg is a major requirement for many skills in Australian Rules football. At present there is no other research evaluating dynamic single leg balance ability of an elite AFL team over an entire football season. Therefore this study investigated changes in dynamic …

Effect of Orthotics on Dynamic Balance in Participants with Pes Planus and Subacute Lateral Ankle Sprains
… athletic injuries which lead to a decrease in balance via proprioceptive damage around the joint. Orthotics have been shown to help increase balance following acute ankle sprains. This research focused on the effect of orthotics on balance in participants with unilateral, subacute lateral ankle …

Effectiveness of spinal stabilization exercises on dynamic balance in adults with subacute and chronic low back pain: A randomized clinical trial
… is to determine the effectiveness of SSEs on dynamic balance in adults with subacute and chronic LBP. Specifically, performance on the YBT will be compared between participants with subacute and chronic LBP who receive an SSE program (treatment group) and those who receive a general exercise …

Ankle sprain prevention - the effect of the Nike Free shoe in elite male soccer players
… as scores on tests of ankle strength, static balance, dynamic balance, agility and self-reports of ankle function. These scores were compared to those of the control team. Statistical analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental team members in the anteromedial …

Skeletal muscle mass, function, and metabolic regulation between menopause stages in moderately active mid-life females
… a muscle specific decline independent of age. Dynamic balance (posterolateral reach) was also lower in post-menopause. Integrated muscle protein synthesis (MPS) rates and gene expression associated with protein turnover did not differ between menopause groups. Greater protein intake (≥ 1.2 g/kg …

The mother-child relationship between motor skills and physical activity
… between FMS and PA. The results indicate that dynamic balance in mothers could influence the FMS of their children. In addition, mother PA was not related to child PA engagement. Yet, dynamic balance in mothers influenced their own self-reported PA and when the boys and girls were analyzed …

Comparison of shod vs nonshod on balance and postural sway in older adults
… in the foot sole diminishes, contributing to balance impairment. Discovering an effective method for retraining the mechanoreceptors of the feet will possibly increase balance control. Training the different physiological systems involved in balance maintenance is important for decreasing fall …

A longitudinal study on possible correlates that might explain the onset and progression of musculoskeletal symptoms in school-aged children with Generalized Joint Hypermobility
… previous studies have tested proprioception, balance and strength as possible underlying factors facilitating the onset of musculoskeletal symptoms in GJH. Yet, studies using different instruments and test positions have been inconclusive about the association. In addition, the psychosocial …

THE VERTICAL STRUCTURE OF ESTUARINE TIDAL CURRENTS
… measurements are used to investigate the dynamic balance in the tidal channel, and to evaluate the eddy viscosity models. The principal terms in the dynamic balance were found to be the surface slope induced pressure gradient and the bottom stress. The magnitude of the near bottom stress …

A Comparison of Dynamic Equilibrium of Three Selected Ethnic Groups in the United States
… there were any significant differences in dynamic balance among selected American Negroes, American Indians and American Caucasians.</p><p>Subjects selected were seventeen years of age or older, with good eyesight and hearing, and with varied backgrounds in sports skills.</p><p>The Bass …

Phase and Microstructural Stability in Immiscible Binary Alloys Under Irradiation
… In the regime when thermal decomposition is in dynamic balance with irradiation mixing, phase separation takes place at a finite-length scale, of the order of the nanometer, in agreement with our theoretical predictions. This spontaneous nanoscale decomposition demonstrates that ion-beam mixing …

Proprioceptive acuity in patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament following a rehabilitation programme
… reproduction of limb position, single leg static balance (postural sway)using a stable force platform, and dynamic balance using the Star Excursion Balance(SEBT) test were used as measures of proprioceptive acuity.Results: Results show that there are significant differences in proprioception …
