Standing on textured surfaces: effects on standing balance in healthy older adults.
BACKGROUND standing on textured surfaces or wearing textured shoe insoles can alter balance performance. This evidence, although inconclusive, offers a potential intervention for improving balance in older adults. This study explored the effect of standing on textured surfaces on double-limb balance in older adults and changes in muscle activity as a possible mechanism of effect. METHODS 50 h...
متن کاملEquilibrium of drops on inclined hydrophilic surfaces.
Why does not gravity make drops slip down the inclined surfaces, e.g., plant leaves? The current explanation is based on the existence of surface inhomogeneities, which cause a sustaining force that pins the contact line. Following this theory, the drop remains in equilibrium until a critical value of the sustaining force is reached. We propose an alternative analysis, from the point of view of...
متن کاملFriction Experienced by a Particle Moving on Arough Inclined
We present results from molecular dynamics simulations of a sphere moving down an inclined plane made rough by glueing other spheres to it. The moving sphere experiences an eeective friction force due to collisions with the balls on the plane, and can maintain a steady state with a constant mean velocity for a certain range of inclination angles of the plane. Although the friction force is due ...
متن کاملEffects of Using the Vibratory Orthosis on Standing Balance in Patients With Parkinson ’s Disease
Objectives: The authors of this paper hypothesized that vibration stimulation applied by a vibratory orthosis improves balance in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this study we evaluate this hypothesis. Methods & Materials: Fourteen PD patients (12 male and 2 female) with mean age of 59.9±9.1 (±SD) years were participated in this cross- sectional study. Using Biodex balance system,...
متن کاملThe Effect on Human Balance of Standing with Toe-Extension
BACKGROUND Postural balance is vital for safely carrying out many daily activities, such as locomotion. The purpose of this study was to determine how changes in normal standing (NS) and standing with toe-extension (SWT) impact postural control during quiet standing. Furthermore, the research aimed to examine the extent to which the effect of these factors differed between genders. METHODOLOG...
