Pregnancy induces a range of biomechanical and hormonal adaptations that influence both gait and postural stability. As the centre of mass shifts anteriorly and upwards during gestation, pregnant ...

Objective: To determine if approximate entropy (ApEn), a regularity statistic from non-linear dynamics, could detect changes in postural control during quiet standing in athletes with normal postural ...

Background Chronic spinal disc disease leads to disorders in postural movement coordination and deteriorates postural stability. 1 Recent studies suggest that subjects with lumbar disc herniation (LDH ...

Patients with Parkinson disease may be able to improve their postural stability by directing their attention to the external effects of their movements rather than to the movements of their own body, ...

Patients with Parkinson's disease have substantially impaired balance, leading to diminished functional ability and an increased risk of falling. Although exercise is routinely encouraged by health ...
