Digital Human Model for Postural Assessment - Postural Visualisation Application
Postural assessment is a vital process that enables clinicians to diagnose abnormalities and suggest treatment to improve a patient’s quality of life. However, the current methods of assessment and practices of data recording are non-standardised and do not utilise the opportunity modern mobile …

Emotional, cognitive, and postural adaptations to repeated postural threat exposure
… changes in emotional, cognitive, and postural control measures and adaptation of these measures to repeated threat exposure in healthy young and older adults. Twenty-seven young and twenty-seven older adults stood on a platform under no threat and threat conditions. Postural threat was …

The Influence of Feedback on Supra-postural Task Performance and Postural Sway Variability
<p>Postural sway variability is reduced when a person lightly touches a surface with the fingertip, even when the amount of force produced is insufficient to mechanically stabilize the body. Manipulating feedback about a supra-postural task, such as isometric light force, alters task constraints. …

Postural Time-To-Contact, Real-Time Visual Feedback Of Postural Activity, And Motion Sickness
The postural instability theory of motion sickness predicts that the subjective symptoms of motion sickness will be preceded by unstable control of posture. In previous research, it has been confirmed with measures of the spatial magnitude and temporal dynamic of postural activity. In the first …

Postural control: Visual and cognitive manipulations
… the utilization of sensory information for postural control. Past research establishes the possibility that cognitive tasks requiring visual perception may affect the processing of visual information for postural control. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of varying …

Adaptation and learning in postural control
… posture can have catastrophic consequences. Postural competence needs to be recovered in a multitude of illness, in developmental disorders as well as to age related decreasing function. To meet this end, health professionals utilise a multitude of techniques, mainly based on sensory based …

Dynamic strategies of human postural control
… is one of the controllable parameters for postural dynamics, was examined while subjects performed a variety of upright postural movements where the speed, instructions and the base of support dimensions were experimentally manipulated. The rational for the new concept of virtual …

Postural Adaptations in Self-Ligating Bracket Treatment
… purpose of this study was to evaluate if these postural adjustments do occur, and, if they do, to assess if there is a stratification of treatment effect based on dental classification. A customized cephalometric evaluation was designed from an amalgamation of previous cephalometric studies. …

Postural data incorporated into traditional work measurement
… Technique (WAPAST)-used to collect methods, postural, and work measurement data. From the data collected, one can determine the method used to complete an activity by task identification, the time it takes to complete each task, as well as the time to complete an entire activity, and the …

Pushing/Pulling Exertions Disturb Trunk Postural Stability
The stability of the spine can be estimated from kinematic variability and nonlinear analyses of seated balance tasks. However, processing methods require sufficient signal duration and test-retest experiments require that the assessment must be reliable. Our goal was to characterize the …

Multimodal rehabilitation for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
Objectives: To examine (a) feasibility characteristics of the multimodal training program, (b) outcomes of the program, (c) participants’ integration of treatment for long-term outcomes, and (d) align the findings with occupational adaptation (OA) to refine the program. Design: A retrospective …

Evaluation of postural stability using sensory organization test
Poor postural stability of the elderly and other patients has been a major concern.The cost of treating injuries due to poor stability is expected to rise to $32.4 Billion by 2020. Many interventions have been proposed and used to improve stability. In order to determine the efficacy of these …

The Effects of Subconcussive Impacts on Postural Stability
… The effects of concussions on postural stability, both acutely and chronically, have been well studied and noted. However, whether subconcussive impacts lead to these same impairments is not heavily investigated. <strong>Objectives:</strong> The primary purpose of this study was …
