“…Among healthy non-athlete subjects, Chong et al 24 reported an improvement in balance control ability following an ankle proprioception training programme, although their results revealed that a training programme that controlled general balance did not specifically target ankle proprioception. Karakaya et al 25 reported that ankle proprioceptive training had positive effects on static body balance parameters in healthy individuals.…”

The proprioceptive intervention programme for combat soldiers improved postural balance on unstable surfaces, and improved the correlation between postural balance in the eyes closed condition and postural balance following fatigue. Further longitudinal studies are needed to verify the relationship between proprioception programmes, additional weight bearing and the reduction of subsequent injuries in combat soldiers.

“…It is caused by weakness of dorsiflexors (e.g., tibialis anterior, extensor halluces longus, and extensor digitorum longus) and stiffness of plantarflexors (e.g., gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis posterior, flexor halluces longus, and flexor digitorum longus) following stroke [4]. Ankles are located close to the body's base of support and assist in controlling balance [5]. Limited ankle ROM in most stroke survivors impairs balance control, which is a major risk factor for falls [6], [7].…”

Many stroke survivors have limited ankle range of motion (ROM) caused by weak dorsiflexors and stiff plantarflexors. Passive ankle stretching exercises with physical therapists or a stretching board are usually recommended, but these treatments have some limitations (e.g., cost and availability of physical therapists). In this paper, we assessed the results of ankle stretching exercises delivered by a robotic ankle stretching system called motorized ankle stretcher (MAS) that we developed or by a stretching board on ankle ROM, balance control, and gait performance. The 16 stroke survivors were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG) or a control group (CG) and participated in seven sessions of dorsiflexion stretching exercises for three-and-a-half consecutive weeks. Laboratory assessments included pre-assessment (baseline at the beginning of the first exercise session), post-assessment (at the end of the seventh exercise session), and retention assessment (one month after the seventh exercise session). All assessments included ankle ROM for the affected side, static/dynamic balance control with a sensory organization test (SOT), walking speed, walking cadence, and step length for the affected and unaffected sides. During seven sessions of ankle stretching exercises, the IG performed them using the MAS, and the CG used a stretching board. The IG significantly improved ankle ROM, SOT scores (i.e., static/dynamic balance control), walking speeds, walking cadences, and step lengths for the unaffected side after completing the seven exercise sessions of ankle stretching exercises and maintained the enhancements at the retention assessment. The CG did not significantly improve across the majority of outcome measures except for the SOT scores between the pre-assessment and retention assessment. Future work will investigate the ideal intensity, frequency, and duration of exercising with the MAS. Our research on technology-assisted ankle rehabilitation, which can ascertain the level of persistent improvement, long-term performance retention, and carry

“…Studies conducted by other authors confirm that even a short-term period of balancing exercises may benefit body stability. Karakaya et al [25] observed significant changes in postural stability following two weeks of proprioceptive training with persons not engaged in sports. Vando et al [26] applied one week of coordination training in 10-yearold karate fighters, noting significant changes in body stability, as measured on a stable platform.…”

Introduction. Snowboarding is a sports discipline in which postural control is key to achieving an effective technique. The body is positioned sideways on the snowboard, with only the head facing forward. This study evaluated the effect of several days of intense snowboarding on the parameters of static and dynamic body stability in persons with different levels of skill. Material and methods. A nine-day snowboarding course was designed and conducted with beginner (N = 16) and advanced snowboarders (N = 14) in the mountains in winter. Before and after the course, dynamic body stability was measured on a Biodex Balance System (USA) platform with an unstable surface, and static body stability was measured on a FreeMed Sensor Medica (Italy) stabilometric platform. Results. Measurements on an unstable surface showed significantly weaker (p < 0.01) values of body stability in a lateral stance in the snowboarding stance than in a forward stance and a significant (p < 0.05) improvement in performance after the course. On a stable surface, the improvement in performance (p < 0.05) occurred only among the beginners, in the snowboard basic position. Conclusions. The results confirm that snowboarding, or continuous unstable balance, improves postural control, which leads to the conclusion that the lateral stance on the snowboard is a clearly disruptive factor in natural postural control. This constitutes a considerable difficulty, especially for beginners, who in addition to learning new technical skills, must adapt to continuously shifting balance.
