We recommend the thesis prepared under our supervision by The integration of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory components are used to maintain one's postural balance. Postural control changes over time and body sway increases with age. The different sensory systems begin to develop and refine starting when children are young, while in older adults it begins to decline. Hence, it is importan...

conclusions examining postural control as an endophenotype or early diagnostic marker of autism is a conceptual premise which should be considered in future investigations. at the end of the review, methodological recommendations on the assessment of postural control have also been provided. results individuals with asd have problems in maintaining postural control in infancy that well persists...

Background: Poor balance performance and impaired postural control have been frequently reported in patients with low back pain. However, postural control is rarely monitored during the course of treatment even though poor postural control may contribute to chronicity and recurrence of symptoms. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating the effect of a nonextensible lumbosacral orth...

This prospective study investigated the impact of early exposure to lead on the maturation of children's postural balance. The effect of lead exposure on age-associated maturation of postural balance was investigated on 91 children from the Cincinnati Lead Study (CLS) with a 5-year geometric mean lead concentration in blood of 11.66 microg/dL (range 3.89-28.33 microg/dL) by re-assessing their p...

introduction: parkinson`s disease (pd) is a chronic disorder of basal ganglia with cardinal signs of resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural instability. various studies have evaluated quiet stance postural stability in mild pd but as the authors know there is no consensus on this issue. therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate stance stability of the subjects at early stage...

Objectives: Postural control deficit is one of the most important problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this paper is to review the reactive postural control in spastic children with CP. Methods: Researches on development of reactive postural control in typically developing (TD) children and children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) were analyzed. Results: The resu...
