  1. 1. Visual observation of postural orientation with two-dimensional footage in a healthy physically active population – using a predefined test battery and rating scale

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering

    Author : Leo Haker; [2020]
    Keywords : physically active population; healthy controls; postural orientation; functional tasks; 2D-footage.; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background The two main functional goals of postural control are postural stability (balance) and postural orientation. Postural orientation is the ability to maintain alignment between body segments and the environment during a static or dynamic activity. Nae et al. READ MORE

  3. 2. ”Hand reach star excursion balance test” : Assessment of dynamic functional mobility in female elite team gymnasts in relation to overuse injuries

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskap

    Author : Åsa Bocké; [2020]
    Keywords : adolescents; functional tests; injury prevalence; movement screening;

    Abstract : Background Clinical usable assessment methods to quantify mobility, balance, stability and postural control functions together in a full kinetic chain movement are sparse. Normative data of such dynamic functions in different group of athletes are  still lacking and therefore the relationship between dynamic functional mobility and overuse injuries are also unknown.

  4. 3. Balance assessment in children with cerebral palsy; methods for measuring postural stability

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Michaela Sjödin; [2018]
    Keywords : Center of mass; center of pressure; postural stability; bilateral spastic cerebral pares; balance; quiet standing.;

    Abstract : The most common way to measure postural stability is to examine the displacement of the center of pressure (CoP). But some scientists claim that the center of mass (CoM) is what really indicates the sway of the whole body, since the body is a multi-joint system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Appropriate standing-leaning backward angle for healthier posture while working in front of the computer

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Fatmir Kosovari; [2017]
    Keywords : working posture; standing-leaning backward angle; ergonomics postural stability; comfort; Arbetsställning; vinkeln på stående lutande bakåtställning; ergonomisk stabilitet i hållningen; komfort;

    Abstract : Health problems associated with computer usage have become more common in recent decades. There are many people who sit or stand still for a long time in the wrong posture while working in front of the computers. There is a lot of research showing that too sedentary sitting and standing causes health problems. READ MORE

  6. 5. Experimental Analysis of Virtual Reality as a Stimulus in Posturography

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Suvaudra Ghosh; [2003]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of this Master Thesis was to measure and quantify the effect of a continuous visual stimulus on postural stability. The visual stimulus was applied using a Head Mounted Display through which the image of a vertically rotating cylinder was projected. READ MORE
