Enhancing Anticipatory Postural Adjustments: A Novel Approach to Balance Rehabilitation
نویسنده
چکیده
Balance impairment is common in individuals with neurological disorders and older adults and is a major cause of falls in these populations. Evidence on the effectiveness of conventional interventions for balance restoration is limited. We describe a novel approach to balance rehabilitation that is based on enhancing anticipatory postural adjustments.

Background: Impairment of balance control is one of the most disabling symptoms in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It is known that, in the presence of a predictable postural perturbation, the Central Nervous System (CNS) utilizes Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs) to maintain balance while standing. The main purpose of the current study was to investigate the APAs during self-induced postural...

متن کاملEffects of Fourteen-Day Bed Rest on Trunk Stabilizing Functions in Aging Adults
Bed rest has been shown to have detrimental effects on structural and functional characteristics of the trunk muscles, possibly affecting trunk and spinal stability. This is especially important in populations such as aging adults with often altered trunk stabilizing functions. This study examined the effects of a fourteen-day bed rest on anticipatory postural adjustments and postural reflex re...
