Studies that would address the problem of balance in the context of either the preceding or subsequent movement are scarce. We would like to propose the inverse relationship between stability and mobility as a general principle and that depending on the preceding action the postural sway characteristics in quiet standing would significantly differ. Thirteen female ballet school students were ex...

Consider an arbitrary partition of the triples of all countable ordinals into two classes. We show that either for each finite ordinal m the first class of the partition contains all triples from a set of type ω +m, or for each finite ordinal n the second class of the partition contains all triples of an nelement set. That is, we prove that ω1 → (ω + m,n)3 for each pair of finite ordinals m and...

BACKGROUND In recent years several unstable shoe designs that cause increased instability at the ankle joint have been developed with the aims of training static and dynamic posture and postural control. However, earlier research found significant gender differences in the generation of ankle torque and in the reaction times after a perturbation. Therefore it is possible that men and women are ...
