“…This investigation showed no relation between anthropometric measurements (height and weight) and balance parameters in children aged 6-14 years. Our data regarding body height and weight are in accordance with those of nolan et al [7], lebiedowska and syczewska [19] and Peterson et al [32] and differ from those of schmid et al [20], and Hsu et al [21]. According to nolan [7], this observation might be explained by the fact that, although stature and weight change as children grow, the development of the visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems may account for changes in balance control to a greater extent.…”

“…More recently, De Kegel et al [18] obtained reliable information regarding the postural stability of 49 typically developing children aged 6-12 using an AccuGait system. normative data available for static posturography in children are less extensive than those existing for adults [7,12,[19][20][21]. The largest study is that of Hsu et al [21] who analyzed the development of balance function with a Gravicoder Gs-7 in 251 children, aged 3-12 years.…”

from childhood to adolescence. Postural stability had not reached the adult level by the age of 13-14 years. Reliable information regarding postural stability can be obtained in children and young adolescents by means of stabilometric parameters. These data can be used as a reference for early detection of atypical postural development and for the assessment of dizziness and balance disorders in children.

“…Biomechanical studies show that even small changes that occur in sequence between the foot structure or foot and ankle affect postural control mechanisms (18,19). The preservation of a stable upright position can be achieved through the interaction of sensorial organisation and motor coordination components (20,21).…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hallux valgus and foot function and balance in older men. Methods: One hundred and six feet of 53 elderly men (mean age: 73.79±7.08 years) were evaluated in this research. Hallux valgus angle was measured using a goniometer. Foot function, dynamic balance and static balance were evaluated by the forefoot subscale of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Scale, Timed Up & Go Test and single leg stance, respectively, and their relations with hallux valgus were analysed. Results: Hallux valgus angle values were 17.32±11.29 degree for right foot and 16.45±10.65° for left foot. No significant relationship was found between hallux valgus angle (right and left) and static and dynamic balance (p>0.05). However, hallux valgus angles of right and left foot were correlated with the scale scores of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scale (r=-0. 34, p=0.01; r=-0. 38,p=0.005, respectively). Discussion: According to these results, the severity of hallux valgus itself does not influence balance, although it partially affects the functional ability of the forefoot in older men.

“…There is a significant inter-individual variation in the timing and tempo of puberty (Rogol et al, 2002). Although this period is characterized by a rapid physical growth, the body scheme disturbance occurring during adolescence does not involve a degradation of postural control: body height, body mass and age seem to have no impact on sway parameters (Lebiedowska and Syczewska, 2000). The development of visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems may account for age-related changes in balance control to a greater extent (Nolan et al, 2005).…”

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 .
