“…Adolescence is a dynamic period of physiological and psychological transition. The period between 14 and 15 years is characterized by a degradation of postural orientation and body stabilization because of a transient neglect of proprioceptive cues (Viel et al, 2009). The present results confirmed the existence of a turning point at around 14-15 years when performing a dual task.…”

“…This adaptive capacity of the central nervous system contributes to a more stable and flexible control of upright stance and already exists in children 4 to 10 years of age (Bair et al, 2007). As adolescents strongly rely on visual cues for body stabilization (Viel et al, 2009), they adapted to the degradation of proprioceptive information similarly to the adults.…”

“…Hirabayashi and Iwasaki (1995) proposed that teenagers of 14 years of age do not demonstrate the same visual or vestibular control as adults. Moreover, 14-to 15-year-old teenagers transiently neglect proprioceptive cues in the control of orientation and body stabilization (Viel et al, 2009). They rely more on visual information and their balance performance are weaker than those of adults.…”

Postural control and attentional demand during adolescence

In the present study we aimed to determine the attentional cost of postural control during adolescence by studying the influence of a cognitive task on concurrent postural control. 38 teenagers aged 12 to 17 years and 13 young adults (mean age = 26.1) stood barefoot on a force platform in a semi-tandem position. A dual-task paradigm consisted of performing a Stroop or a COUNTING BACKWARD task while simultaneously standing quietly on a firm or foam support surface. Different centre of pressure (CoP) measures were calculated (90% confidence ellipse area, mean velocity, root mean square on the antero-posterior (AP) and medio-lateral (ML) axes). The number and percentage of correct responses in the cognitive tasks were also recorded. Our results indicate (1) higher values of surface, ML mean velocity and ML RMS in the COUNTING BACKWARD task in adolescents aged 12 to 15 than in teenagers aged 16 to 17 and in adults, regardless of the complexity of the postural task and, (2) better cognitive performances in the Stroop than in the COUNTING BACKWARD task. The difference in the dual-task performance between the different age groups and particularly the existence of a turning point around 14-15 years of age might be due to 1) difficulties in properly allocating attentional resources to two simultaneous tasks and/or, 2) the inability to manage increased cognitive requests because of a limited information processing capacity in adolescents aged 14-15 years. IntroductionAlthough it has often been argued that undisturbed quiet standing is automatically regulated, several studies using dual-task paradigms demonstrated a clear link between the regulation of sway and higher-order processes (Lajoie et al., 1993). Even in young adults, a minimum amount of attention is required to stand upright. The more challenging the postural task (e.g., feet-together or unipedal stance), the greater the required attentional resources (Dault et al., 2001). Cognitive (e.g., reading, counting backward, and spelling words) and postural tasks (e.g., upright stance and one-leg balance) require common cognitive mechanisms that involve a conflicting relationship when both tasks are performed simultaneously (Kerr et al., 1985). Increasing the level of difficulty of the cognitive task involves either increased (Blanchard et al., 2005), decreased (Andersson et al., 2002) or unchanged (Kerr et al., 1985) centre of foot pressure (CoP) excursions. Conversely, the performance of the cognitive task (e.g., backward counting and reaction-time task) can be compromised by a simultaneous control of quiet stance in adults with calf vibration (Andersson et al., 2002), on a beam (Barra et al., 2006) or with suppression or perturbation of sensory information in the elderly .

“…5-9 years is even less well developed, we suggest that this study be replicated with a population that spans the primary school age years. In addition, given that data also suggests that at age 14-15, adolescents enter a period of 'proprioceptive neglect' it would also be important to investigate how standing desks affect manual control in children older than which we have already studied (28).…”

The effect of standing desks on manual control in children and young adults

The aim of the present study was to establish if and how the additional postural constraint of standing affects accuracy and precision of goal directed naturalistic actions. Forty participants, comprising 20 young adults aged 20 -23 years and 20 children aged 9-10 years completed 3 manual dexterity tasks on a tablet laptop with a handheld stylus during two separate conditions (1) while standing (2) while seated. The order of conditions was counterbalanced across both groups of participants. The tasks were (1) a tracking task, where the stylus tracked a dot in a figure of 8 at 3 speeds (2) an aiming task where the stylus moved from dot to dot with individual movements creating the outline of a pentagram (3) a tracing task, where participants had to move the stylus along a static pathway or maze. Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), movement time and path accuracy, respectively, were used to quantify the effect that postural condition had on manual control.Overall adults were quicker and more accurate than children when performing all 3 tasks, and where the task speed was manipulated accuracy was better at slower speeds for all participants. Surprisingly, children performed these tasks more quickly and more accurately when standing compared to when sitting. In conclusion, standing at a desk while performing goal directed tasks did not detrimentally affect children's manual control, and moreover offered a benefit.

“…(20,25) Consequently, balance control is not completely optimal as in adults, but the posture control process in 10 to 12-year-olds presents less variability than in 6 to 8-year-olds. (20,26,27) It was also found that children and teenagers seem to have temporal organization with sensory afferent information for the head, vision, and feet, working together, to control posture, (25) but their CNS maturation is not at the same level. This could explain the difference observed in children and adolescents.…”

Introduction: Sensory information from vestibular, visual, proprioception, and feet contribute on postural control. Plantar afferent contribution comes from the tactile and nociceptive cues of the plantar sole. Nociceptive capacity of plantar irritating stimulus (NCPIS) is one of the foot problems that induce nociception. Objective: Was to determine the postural impact of sensory input flow modifications induced by foam in people with and without nociceptive plantar irritating stimuli in different ages (children, adolescents, and adults). Method: 120 participants with (NP) and X without (Ct) NCPIS in different age group were evaluated (20 subjects in each age group and conditions). Postural balance assessment was performed during two-legged stance test using a force platform. Postural recoding was performed with eyes open in two conditions: on a hard surface and on a foam surface. The postural balance parameter analyzed was center of pressure area and variance of speed. Results: Area and variance of speed in control group increased, whereas decreased in NP subjects. No differences were observed for mean speed. In the Ct group, nociceptor and mechanoreceptor afferent sensations on foam induced postural variation with more oscillations (area and speed). Conclusion: NCPIS influenced postural control, and this foam neutralization of afferent nociception induced a new sensory organization. Foam surface imitated afferent plantar sensory information, induced postural variation as measured by CoP parameters with increasing postural control in subjects without NCIPS and decreasing postural control in subjects with NCPIS.
