Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between body mass index and postural balance
Julia Maria D'Andrea Greve,Angélica Castilho Alonso,Ana Carolina P.G. Bordini,Gilberto Luis Camanho +3 more
TL;DR: High BMI demands more displacements to maintain postural balance in unipodal support and the general stability index showed a correlation between BMI and postural Balance--measured as imbalance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of anthropometric factors on postural balance: the relationship between body composition and posturographic measurements in young adults
Angélica Castilho Alonso,Natália Mariana Silva Luna,Luis Mochizuki,Fabio Augusto Barbieri,Sileno da Silva Santos,J. M. D. Greve +5 more
TL;DR: Height was the anthropometric variable that most influenced postural balance, both in the whole group and separately for each gender, and was more influenced by anthropometric factors in males than females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Static and dynamic postural control in low-vision and normal-vision adults
Mônica S.V. Tomomitsu,Angélica Castilho Alonso,Eurica Morimoto,Tatiana Godoy Bobbio,Julia Maria D'Andrea Greve +4 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that visual feedback is crucial for determining balance, especially for dynamic tasks and on foam surfaces, as low-vision individuals had worse postural stability than normal-vision adults in terms of dynamic tests and balance on foam surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of lower-limb dominance on postural balance
Angélica Castilho Alonso,Guilherme Carlos Brech,Andréia Moraes Bourquin,Julia Maria D'Andrea Greve +3 more
TL;DR: The lower-limb dominance did not influence single-foot balance among sedentary males, and three instability indices were calculated: anteroposterior, mediolateral and general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between handgrip strength, balance, and knee flexion/extension strength in older adults
Angélica Castilho Alonso,Angélica Castilho Alonso,Samia Maria Ribeiro,Natália Mariana Silva Luna,Natália Mariana Silva Luna,Mark D. Peterson,Danilo Sales Bocalini,Marcos Maurício Serra,Guilherme Carlos Brech,Guilherme Carlos Brech,Julia Maria D'Andrea Greve,Luiz Eugênio Garcez-Leme +11 more
TL;DR: There was a moderate positive correlation between knee flexion/extension strength and HGS, and this suggests that HGS could be used as a proxy indicator of overall strength capacity for clinical screening among older women.
