Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and Effectiveness of a Balance-Enhancing Insole

Stephen D. Perry, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: A relatively simple change in insole design can help to counter effects of age-related (non-neuropathic) decline in foot-sole sensitivity, and is a viable intervention to enhance balance control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influences of inversion/eversion of the foot upon impact loading during locomotion.

Stephen D. Perry, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1995 - 
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that pronation modifications can affect the magnitude of the impact experienced by the body during locomotion and care should be exercised when orthotics that will be used for both walking and running are prescribed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Shoe Characteristics on Dynamic Stability When Walking on Even and Uneven Surfaces in Young and Older People

Jasmine C. Menant, +6 more
- 01 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that shoes with elevated heels or soft soles should not be recommended for older people and that a standard laced shoe with a low collar and a sole of standard hardness with or without a tread provides optimal dynamic stability when walking on even and uneven surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preventing falls in older adults: New interventions to promote more effective change-in-support balance reactions

Brian E. Maki, +23 more
- 01 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: Four new interventions aimed at reducing fall risk in older adults by promoting more effective CIS reactions are described: balance training, balance-enhancing footwear, safer mobility aids, and handrail cueing systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thresholds for step initiation induced by support-surface translation: a dynamic center-of-mass model provides much better prediction than a static model.

Yi-Chung Pai, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2000 - 
TL;DR: The proposition that the central nervous system must react to and control dynamic effects, i.e. COM velocity, as well as COM displacement, in order to maintain stability with respect to the existing BOS without stepping is supported.
