Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity of trunk variability and stability measures to balance impairments induced by galvanic vestibular stimulation during gait

TL;DR: It is concluded that only short-term Lyapunov exponents and variability can be used to asses stability of gait, and the presence or absence of GVS was predicted with variability and the short- term LyAPunov exponent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gait in Pregnancy-related Pelvic girdle Pain: amplitudes, timing, and coordination of horizontal trunk rotations.

TL;DR: While patients’ rotational amplitudes were larger, with large inter-individual differences, spinal rotations did not differ between groups, and in the patients, peak thorax rotation occurred earlier in the stride cycle at higher velocities, and relative phase was lower.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of dorsal versus ventral shear loads on the rotational stability of the thoracic spine: a biomechanical porcine and human cadaveric study

TL;DR: The results of this study showed that eccentrically applied shear loads induce vertebral rotation in human as well as in porcine spinal segments, and showed that, in humans and in quadrupeds, the thoracic spine is less rotationally stable under dorsal shearload than under ventral shear load.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Instrumented Sit-to-Stand Test (iSTS) Has Greater Clinical Relevance than the Manually Recorded Sit-to-Stand Test in Older Adults

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that test durations as assessed with the instrumented repeated Sit-To-Stand (STS) show stronger associations with health status, functional status and daily physical activity of older adults than manually recorded test d duration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postural sway parameters in seated balancing; their reliability and relationship with balancing performance

TL;DR: None of the parameters was related with balance loss in univariate analyses, while multivariate models revealed that higher sway velocity and a lower short-term diffusion coefficient were related with less balance loss, indicating that a multivariate assessment of CoP trajectories is necessary to characterize balancing performance.
