Paso del postural set de decúbito supino al postural set de sedestación
2022
Este vídeo forma parte de una serie de vídeos que muestran la ejecución de diversas maniobras de fisioterapia siguiendo las bases del Concepto Bobath. En él se muestra cómo facilitar el paso del postural set de decúbito supino al postural set de sedestación, en una mujer con hemiparesia izquierda tras ictus hemorrágico. Cabe destacar que las características funcionales de la modelo pueden no estar alineadas con los objetivos de la maniobra mostrada. Estos se detallan al inicio del vídeo. La idoneidad de la maniobra para una determinada persona dependerá de que esta necesite conseguir dichos objetivos terapéuticos.

Evaluation of Posturographic and Neuromuscular Parameters during Upright Stance and Hand Standing: A Pilot Study
2023
Upright bipedal posture is the physiological human posture; however, it is not the only possible form of human standing; indeed, an inverted position, a handstand, is required during gymnastics or other sports. Thus, this study aimed to understand the differences between the two standing strategies from a postural and neuromuscular perspective. Thirteen gymnasts with at least three years of sports experience underwent a baropodometric assessment and a surface electromyography (sEMG) examination in a standard upright bipodalic stance and during a handstand. The sEMG examination was performed on the gastrocnemius during an upright stance and on the flexor carpi radialis during the handstand. …
Balance confidence and functional balance are associated with physical disability after hip fracture
2012
Background. This cross-sectional study investigated the associations between balance confidence, functional balance, and physical disability among older people after hip fracture. Material and methods. The study utilizes baseline data of two randomized controlled trials (ISRCTN34271567 and ISRCTN53680197). The participants were 159 community-dwelling over 60-year-old people. Health, fracture status, the date and type of surgery, and contraindications for participation were assessed in a clinical examination. Balance confidence was assessed by the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) and functional balance by the Berg Balance Scale. Physical disability was assessed by a questio…
Age-Related Differences in Intermuscular Coherence EMG-EMG of Ankle Joint Antagonist Muscle Activity during Maximal Leaning
2022
Background: Intermuscular synchronization is one of the fundamental aspects of maintaining a stable posture and is of great importance in the aging process. This study aimed to assess muscle synchronization and postural stabilizer asymmetry during quiet standing and the limits of stability using wavelet analysis. Intermuscular synchrony and antagonistic sEMG-sEMG (surface electromyography) coherence asymmetry were evaluated in the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles. Methods: The study involved 20 elderly (aged 65 ± 3.6) and 20 young (aged 21 ± 1.3) subjects. The task was to perform a maximum forward bend in a standing position. The prone test was divided into three phases: quiet standing …

Impact of personality on postural control in football players – a pilot study
2018
Wprowadzenie. W porównaniu do innych sportowców, piłkarze są w grupie dyscyplin sportowych o podwyższonym ryzyku kontuzji związanych z utratą równowagi ciała. Jedno z największych wyzwań współczesnego sportu stanowi znalezienie wszystkich czynników, które mogą wpływać na system utrzymywania równowagi ciała zawodników. Rozwój badań nad przewidywaniem i zapobieganiem urazom sportowym powinien być zorientowany na perspektywę biopsychospołeczną. Cel. Eksplorowanie związków między kontrolą równowagi ciała a cechami osobowości Wielkiej Piątki w grupie piłkarzy. Materiały i metody. W badaniu wzięło udział 27 piłkarzy (średnia wieku 35,4±16,9 lat). Do oceny równowagi postawy zastosowano platformę K…

Might as well jump: Sound affects muscle activation in skateboarding
2014
The aim of the study is to reveal the role of sound in action anticipation and performance, and to test whether the level of precision in action planning and execution is related to the level of sensorimotor skills and experience that listeners possess about a specific action. Individuals ranging from 18 to 75 years of age - some of them without any skills in skateboarding and others experts in this sport - were compared in their ability to anticipate and simulate a skateboarding jump by listening to the sound it produces. Only skaters were able to modulate the forces underfoot and to apply muscle synergies that closely resembled the ones that a skater would use if actually jumping on a ska…
Relationship between sleep quality and postural balance in community-dwelling older persons: A cross-sectional study
2019
Objetivo Determinar la relación entre la calidad del sueño y el equilibrio postural en las personas mayores que viven en la comunidad. Métodos Se aplicó un estudio analítico y transversal. Se reclutaron 53 sujetos que cumplían los criterios de selección. Se aplicó el índice de calidad del sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI) y se realizó una prueba de equilibrio estático a través de una posturografía computarizada para evaluar el equilibrio postural. Resultados Cincuenta y tres sujetos entre 60 y 80 años (M = 70,13; desviación estándar: 6,06) fueron evaluados; 69,8% correspondían a mujeres y 30,2% a hombres. La prueba de correlación encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa y positiva, per…
