Repeatability and Effect of Instruction of Body Sway

Effect of Overtime Work and Insufficient Sleep on Postural Sway in Information‐Technology Workers

“…In the present study group comparisons were statistically carried out controlling for height and age, because taller height brings the center of mass higher and could cause more oscillation 10) . Among the parameters for the postural balance, we selected SA and SV because SA has been the most popular posturographic measure, while SV is thought to be the most effective and reliable parameter reflecting the postural control system, as described by a few researchers 11,12) . Regarding the results, SA with eyes open was more sensitive than SV to detect the longer and shorter overtime work effects in this study.…”

Postural control adaptation during galvanic vestibular and vibratory proprioceptive stimulation

“…Moreover, the subject's point of view toward the test situation itself, i.e., whether a postural stimulation actually could seriously threaten their balance, and the subject's level of attention and attitude may also affect the responses [40], [48]. Ishizaki et al demonstrated that subjects instructed to stand as stable as possible swayed significantly less compared to subjects instructed to stand relaxed [49]. Moreover, previous experience of the test situation and perceived level of postural threat during the test situation have a profound influence on the chosen body leaning and postural control [23], [40], [50].…”

The Effects of Alcohol on Static Balance in University Students

“…Posture control is the ability to control the location of the body in a space, and this ability is essential to perform daily motions, walking, and other tasks. It utilizes sight, hearing and a vestibular organ, proprioception, sense of position, muscle strength, spasticity, cognitive function, etc., and in specific, it involves sight, a vestibular organ, and a somesthesia biofeedback mechanism 10) . Balance is the result of complicated interactions among a proprioceptive organ, a musculoskeletal organ, a vestibular organ, and a visual organ 11) .…”
