background : lifting methods, including standing stance and techniques have wide effects on spine loading and stability. previous studies explored lifting techniques in many biomechanical terms and documented changes in muscular and postural response of body as a function of techniques .however, the impact of standing stance and lifting technique on human musculoskeletal had not been investigat...

Objective : To study the efficacy of dual task training with variable priority instructional set and fixed priority instructional set in improving balance and Activities of Daily Living(ADLS) in Patients with Parkinson's Disease. Methodology : 30 Parkinson's disease patients were divided in to two groups with 15 subjects in each group took part in this study. Both of the groups were having prop...

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the impact of neck pain, mobility, and body mass index on teachers’ postural control. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 54 state public school teachers, 68.5% (n = 37) being females, mean age 46.5 ± 9.3 years. Data were collected following instruments: Craniocervical Dysfunction Index (Brazilian version), force platform in bipedal semi-tandem stance, visual anal...

We investigated the integration time of haptic and visual input and their interaction during stance stabilization. Eleven subjects performed four tandem-stance conditions (60 trials each). Vision, touch, and both vision and touch were added and withdrawn. Furthermore, vision was replaced with touch and vice versa. Body sway, tibialis anterior, and peroneus longus activity were measured. Followi...

Purpose: It is essential to maintain dynamic stability during walking to perform daily tasks independently. The present study aimed at comparing the spatiotemporal parameters and the values of the vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) as well as determining the time to reach them in ankle-sprain coper and healthy athletes during the stance phase of gait. Methods: A total of 28 female universit...
