Multidirectional measures of seated postural stability

Comparison of multidirectional seated postural stability between individuals with spinal cord injury and able-bodied individuals.

OBJECTIVES To compare multidirectional seated postural stability between individuals with spinal cord injury and able-bodied- individuals and to evaluate the impact of abdominal and low back muscle paralysis on multidirectional seated stability. DESIGN Case-control study. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen individuals with complete or incomplete spinal cord injury affecting various vertebral levels parti...

Postural Stability 1 Measures of Postural Stability

Dynamic posturography has become an important tool for understanding standing balance in clinical settings. A key test in the NeuroCom dynamic posturography system, the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) provides information about the integration of multiple components of balance. The SOT test leads to an outcome measure called the equilibrium score (ES), which reflects the overall coordination of...

Validation of Seated Postural Control Measures in Non- Ambulatory Persons with Multiple Sclerosis by Cherita Ousley

Evaluation of time-to-contact measures for assessing postural stability.

Postural stability has traditionally been examined through spatial measures of the center of mass (CoM) or center of pressure (CoP), where larger amounts of CoM or CoP movements are considered signs of postural instability. However, for stabilization, the postural control system may utilize additional information about the CoM or CoP such as velocity, acceleration, and the temporal margin to a ...
