Correlation of balance posturographic parameters during quiet standing with the berg balance scale in patients with parkinson’s disease
BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is often clinically associated with posture instability and more easily falling. The Berg balance scale is a...

Does visuospatial neglect contribute to standing balance within the first 12 weeks post-stroke? A prospective longitudinal cohort study
BackgroundVisuospatial neglect (VSN) has been suggested to limit standing balance improvement post-stroke. However, studies investigating this...

Accelerometry applications and methods to assess standing balance in older adults and mobility-limited patient populations: a narrative review
Accelerometers provide an opportunity to expand standing balance assessments outside of the laboratory. The purpose of this narrative review is to...

Scoliosis Research Society-22r score is affected by standing whole body sagittal alignment, age, and sex, but not by standing balance or skeletal muscle mass in healthy volunteers
PurposeAging and spinal disease impair standing whole body sagittal alignment (WBS alignment), which leads to stoo**. When WBS alignment...

Brain activation during standing balance control in dual-task paradigm and its correlation among older adults with mild cognitive impairment: a fNIRS study
BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the balance ability and functional brain oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) among older adults with...

Influence of stance width on standing balance in healthy older adults
Posturography is an objective way to systematically interpret postural control. Recent evidence suggests self-selected stance width when conducting...

Comparison of toe pressure strength in the standing position and toe grip strength in association with the presence of assistance in standing up: a cross-sectional study in community-dwelling older adults
PurposeWe believe that toe pressure strength in the standing position, which is closer to the actual movement, is more associated with standing up in...

Changes in spinal sagittal balance after a new osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture
SummaryWe conduct a longitudinal study to examine how new VCF alter spinal sagittal balance. New VCF increased SVA by an average of 2.8 cm. Sagittal...
