An Investigation of Postural Sway in Sitting of Normal Children and Children with Neurological Disorders

Review Paper: Introduction of Pediatric Balance Therapy in Children with Vestibular Dysfunction: Review of Indications, Mechanisms, and Key Exercises

“…Similarly, like adults with central nervous system impairment, the children with traumatic brain injury or other central nervous system insult may be expected to have central vestibular deficits [7]. However, investigations of vestibular dysfunction in children with such diagnoses are scarce [8][9][10][11]. Dysfunction may be found as comorbidity with developmental disorders [12].…”

Differences in Seated Postural Control in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy and Children Who Are Typically Developing

“…Reid et al 12 used a three-dimensional tracking system to monitor the sway amplitude of the trunk in children with cerebral palsy or head injury and normal children. No significant differences existed between the three groups in terms of the sway magnitude of the trunk.…”

Randomised controlled trial comparing two school furniture configurations in the printing performance of young children with cerebral palsy

“…Although we could not make statistical inferences regarding the effect of the interventions on these indicators, this upper limit is large enough to merit further study. It is reasonable to expect improvements in letter form if specialty seating improved postural control for children with ambulatory cerebral palsy as reported in other studies (Reid et al, 1991;Sochaniwskyj et al, 1991). However, it is unclear why we did not detect larger effects in other handwriting quality categories also.…”
