Effects of taekwondo on postural system – comparison of posturographic parameters between young tennis athletes and young taekwondo atlete

Aim: Apart from maturation of the sensory systems, the development of postural control is influenced by activity and experience. The training in dynamic sports has been reported to improve postural control of the young athletes (Herpin et al. 2010; Sahin et al. 2015). This study aimed to identify the different status of balance and sensory …

Effects of an anaerobic lactic training session on the postural stability of athletes

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the short-term ef-fects of a lactate-accumulation training session on postural stability. Methods: Fifteen athletes performed two trainings sessions (warm-up and lactic-training session). Before training (Pre), immediately after (Post0min), thirty minutes later (Post30min) and after 24 hours (Post24h), athletes were subject to a bipodal and a monopodal …

Correcting Congenital Talipes Equinovarus in Children using three different corrective methods

Abstract: Equinus, varus, cavus, and adduction are typical signs of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). Forefoot adduction remains a difficulty from using previous corrective methods. This study aims to develop a corrective method to reduce the severity of forefoot adduction of CTEV children with moderate deformities during their walking age. The devised method was compared with …

Changes in postural sway after a single global postural reeducation session in university students: a randomized controlled trial

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a single session of global postural reeducation (GPR) in postural sway in young adult university students who use data visualization screens. Methods: A randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel groups was performed. Sixty-four subjects were randomized in the experimental group (12 men and …

Changes in balance ability, power output, and stretch-shortening cycle utilisation after two high-intensity intermittent training protocols in endurance r

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the acute effects of 2 different high intensity intermittent trainings (HIITs) on postural control, countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), and stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) utilisation, and to compare the changes induced protocols in those variables in endurance runners. Methods: Eighteen recreationally trained endurance runners participated in this study and …

Avaliação do Equilíbrio Estático em Indivíduos com Estrabismo

Introduction: The postural balance in individuals with visual impairment, such as strabismus, has been the subject of several studies, since vision plays an important role in maintenance of posture and equilibrium, being the main source of input information for maintaining static equilibrium. Objective: To evaluate static balance in subjects with strabismus. Methodology: Descriptive and qualitative …

Association of bone mineral density with postural stability and the fear of falling in Spanish postmenopausal women

Objective: The purpose of our study was to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and postural stability and the fear of falling in a 50- to 65-year-old postmenopausal population. Study design: A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted on 118 postmenopausal women. According to their BMD values, participants were divided into two groups: BMD>-2.0SD …

Assessment of Postural stability in young, phisically active men with the history of ankle sprain

Background: Ankle sprain results in damage, not only to the ligaments, but also to many mechanoreceptors which enable detection of motion and joint position. The aim of the study was to detect deficits in postural stability in the sample of patients with the history of low degree ankle sprains. Material and methods: The sample comprised …
