“…Sensing the body's location in external space is important for interacting with the environment 11 . Research findings on the accuracy of sensing postural alignment in literature are mainly focussed on the sense of single joint positions and the influence of external factors on joint positions 12,13 , as well as matching sensed posture of opposite joints 14,15 . Most studies on the accuracy of sensed posture © SA Journal of Occupational Therapy This finding implies that participants who actually deviate from the plumb line in their postural alignment, often do not know the extent to which they deviate.…”

Results from a study 16 that investigated the difference of sensed posture using open kinetic chain and closed kinetic chain (CKC) found a mean error of 5,5 o and concluded that the mean error in sensed posture is less in CKC. Cheuh-Ho Lin et al. 21 proved an insignificant mean error of 0.6 o for sensed posture in healthy ankles. Olson, et al. 15 found that contralateral assessment showed a greater mean error than ipsilateral assessment. Brindle et al. 22 states that visual feedback enhances sensed posture, while Gibson 23 proved vision to be more dominant than touch and proprioception. Far less research evidence is available on sense of position of the shoulder and elbow joints. Correlation between sensed posture position and sensed posture error 12 between shoulder and elbow joint indicates similar errors in sensed posture and further indicate that sensed posture error decreases nearing end-range of motion. King, Harding and Karduna 14 further found no significant differences in sensed posture between left and right upper extremity joints, and proved that the mean error for the shoulder joint was greater than the elbow joint.Unpublished research findings 24 indicate that whole body posture (multi-joint), sense of posture is more accurate in anterior planes than in the lateral planes, and that the number of participants with actual deviation in posture is more than the number of participants who sensed a deviation in their postural alignment. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Accurate sensing of the body position in space is important for safe and mechanically effective interaction with the environment. Clinical evidence however suggests that a client's sense of postural alignment differs from their actual alignment, which may influence the accuracy of postural repositioning during participation in activities of daily life.Objectives: The aim of this quantitative descriptive study was to investigate the difference between sense and actual postural alignment during sitting and standing positions, with the anatomical landmarks as reference points for measurement from anterior and lateral views.Methods: Ten health care clinics in the Free State towns of Botshabelo and Thaba N'chu, were randomly selected and 95 patients participated in the study. Measurements consisted of (a) a biographical questionnaire, (b) assessment of actual postural alignment, and (c) assessment of sensed postural alignment. Assessment of actual postural alignment was done by using the Photographic Method of Postural Assessment (P-MPA), during which the actual (real) distance on photos was established by calculating the ratio of measured/ real distance x distance from plumb line for each ph...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of core stabilization exercise on the dynamic stability in young aged women wearing heeled shoes. METHODS Fourteen young aged women were divided into high heel group (HHG, n=7) and low heel group (LHG, n=7) with heel height. Core stabilization exercise was performed for 60 min (warm up 10min, exercise 40 min and cool down 10min), three times a week for 8 weeks. The dynamic stability was measured by Y-Balance test (Anterior; Ant, posteriolateral; PL, posteriomedial; PM, composite score; CS). RESULTS The dynamic stability was significant difference between groups in both PL and CS at before exercise. The dynamic stability showed also significant improvement in both HHG (Ant, PL, PM, CS) and LHG (PL) at after exercise. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that wearing heeled shoes reduce dynamic stability, while core stabilization exercise improve dynamic stability.

Decrements to postural control manifest as an increase in muscle activity, indicating continuous attempts to maintain body equilibrium and postural stability. Extrinsic factors such as footwear, and intrinsic factors such as muscle fatigue, can affect postural stability. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of two types of military footwear and a military-type load-carrying task on lower extremity muscle activity during various postural stability tasks. Sixteen males’ (age: 26.63 ± 3.93 years; mass: 87 ± 12.4 kg; height: 178.04 ± 6.2 cm) muscle activity from knee flexors, extensors, ankle dorsiflexors, and plantar flexors were measured using electromyography in standard (STD) and minimalist (MIN) military footwear, before (PRE) and after (POST) a simulated workload during sensory organization and motor control tests on the Neurocom EquitestTM. Mean muscle activity was analyzed using 2 (footwear) × 2 (time) repeated measures ANOVA with an alpha level of 0.05. Results revealed a requirement of significantly greater muscle activity in POST and STD. MIN demonstrated lesser balance decrements POST workload, which could be attributed to its design characteristics. Results will help in suggesting footwear design characteristics to minimize muscular exertion while eliciting better postural control, and to prevent postural instability due to overexertion in military personnel.
