Researchers, therapists, and physicians often use equilibrium score (ES) from the Sensory Organization Test, a key test in the NeuroCom EquiTest System (a dynamic posturography system) to assess stability. ES reflects the overall coordination of the visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular systems for maintaining standing posture. In our earlier article, we proposed a new measure of anterior-post...

[Purpose] This study was conducted to investigate the effects of an exercise program using aero-step exercise equipment on the balance ability of normal adults. [Subjects] Twenty-one normal adults were randomized into a flat floor exercise program group (FEG, n = 7), an aero-step exercise program group (AEG, n = 7), and a control group (CG, n = 7). [Methods] the FEG and AEG performed an exercis...

OBJECTIVES Vision plays an important role in postural stability. It has also been shown that visual information from the environment and visual cues significantly contribute to balance skills. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of visual acuity on postural stability and mobility before and after cataract surgery. METHODS The study group was composed of 25 male and 11 female ...

The equilibrium constants K1, Ka and β1 of 25 copper(II) complexes with di(N = 15), tri(N = 5), tetra(N = 2), and pentapeptides (N = 3) were estimated by using linear models based on the valence connectivity index of the 3 order (χ). For the stability constant K1 two kinds of models were developed: bivariate models, which divide a molecule into Nand C-terminal segments, and multivariate models,...

in this paper, an approximate method is proposed for determining sway of multistory rc buildings subjected to various types of lateral loads. the calculation of both fundamental period and stability index in rc building requires the sway term at each story level. using approximate method design engineers can estimate sway terms at each story level. the developed analytical expressions are inser...
