“…The patient's eyesight during the examination was focused on the monitor screen, where a characteristic dot appeared (COP) -Centre of Pressure, the symbolic representation of the Centre of Mass (COM). The subject's task was to balance the body so that the dot (COP) remained in the middle of the circle visible on the monitor at the point of intersection of the coordinate axes [18]. Patient scoring in the postural stability test depended on the number and size of COP deviations per unit of time.…”

Introduction: Studies assessing the influence of postural stability on body posture are very important in postural diagnosis and re-education. Aim of the research: To analyse the relationship between body posture and postural stability. Material and methods: The research included 146 girls aged 10-12 years from three Kielce primary schools. The Diers Formetric III 4D optoelectronic method was used to assess body posture. Postural stability was tested using the Biodex Balance System platform. Results: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient showed a directly proportional relationship between body posture parameters and kyphotic apex, lumbosacral point of inflection, the maximal lordosis angle and the angle of lordosis measured between tangibles of the surface of the lumbosacral point and medial point between lordotic dimples. On the side of parameters showing inversely proportional correlations, the following were found: trunk lenght measured from vertebra C7 to the medial point between lordotic dimples, trunk lenght measured from vertebra C7 to the beginning of the gluteal cleft and trunk inclination expressed in millimeters and degrees. Streszczenie Wprowadzenie: Badania oceniające wpływ stabilności posturalnej na postawę ciała są bardzo istotne w diagnostyce oraz reedukacji posturalnej. Cel pracy: Analiza związków pomiędzy postawą ciała a stabilnością posturalną. Materiał i metody: Badaniami objęto 146 dziewcząt w wieku 10-12 lat z trzech kieleckich szkół podstawowych. Do oceny postawy ciała zastosowano metodę optoelektroniczną Diers Formetric III 4D. Stabilność posturalną testowano przy użyciu platformy balansowej-Biodex Balance System. Wyniki: Korelacja rang Spearmana wykazała wprost proporcjonalną zależność pomiędzy parametrami postawy ciała a szczytem kifozy, punktem przegięcia lędźwiowo-krzyżowego, maksymalnym kątem lordozy oraz kątem lordozy zmierzonym między stycznymi do powierzchni lędźwiowo-krzyżowego punktu przegięcia. Do parametrów, które wykazywały korelacje odwrotnie proporcjonalne, należały: długość tułowia zmierzona od kręgu C7 do punktu środkowego między dołkami lędźwiowymi, długość tułowia od kręgu C7 do początku szpary pośladkowej oraz nachylenie tułowia wyrażone w stopniach i milimetrach.

“…Stable platform tests are useful for postural stability evalu� ation, but unstable platform trials are particularly impor� tant. 16 Maintaining the posture on an unstable supporting surface requires greater motor control; therefore, unstable platform tests may be more sensitive. 17,18 Studies demonstrated, that in all the postural stability tests on an unstable plat�o�m, obese c�ild�en �ad si�ni�� cantly worse results compared to their healthy�bodied peers.…”

Introduction: Obesity is a common health issue among children and adolescents leading to serious consequences later in life. There are reports on postural stability in children in relation to their nutritional status, but there are few studies involving a stabilometric platform. Aim: A comparison of postural stability in children with normal body mass and obese children. Material and methods: The stabilometric study involved 166 subjects. The postural stability evaluation was performed with the use of the Biodex Balance System platform. The following four postural stability tests were carried out: (1) eyes open, stable platform (SI0); (2) eyes open, level 4 unstable platform (SI4); (3) eyes open, level 4 unstable platform with the screen covered (SI4SC); (4) eyes closed, level 4 unstable platform (SI4EC), and the fall risk test (FRT). Results and Discussion: There were statistically significant differences found in the SI4, SI4SC, SI4EC, and FRT tests in all the inspected parameters. Only in the postural stability test on a stable platform (SI0) no differences were noted. The most marked differences between arithmetic means obtained for both groups were observed in the postural stability test on an unstable platform with closed eyes. Conclusions: Children with obesity are characterised by increased instability on a moving surface compared to children of normal body mass. Obese children experience the biggest problem when regaining balance with their eyes closed. It is advisable to include training on an unstable surface in physiotherapy programmes for obese children.

“…Maintaining balance in dynamic conditions requires more balance control involvement (vision, vestibular and somatosensory); thus, it is more relevant in exposing postural stability impairments or deficiencies and their relation to risk of falls [27,38]. Turbański et al performed a six-week somatosensory-exercise programme using unstable shoe constructions, and compared the results from both static and dynamic platforms.…”

Study aim: Assessment of postural stability performed on an unstable stabilometry platform. Comparison of the results obtained by two groups consisting of elderly (OW) (60+ years old) and younger women (YW).Material and methods: Seventy-three female volunteers were divided into two groups: 40 young women (20.2 ± 1.75), and 32 elderly women (68.3 ± 7.43). Participants performed five stability tests on Biodex Balance System SD: three 20-second tries, the Postural Stability Test (PST) and the Fall Risk Test (FRT). Three stability indexes - overall (OSI), anterior-posterior (APSI), and medial-lateral (MLSI) - both with eyes open (EO) and closed (EC) were analyzed. The impact of vision on balance was calculated as EC-EO. Also effect size was calculated and evaluated.Results: All of the parameters differed significantly between groups in favour of YW. The largest difference in significance as well as effect size was noted for FRT, p < 0.001 and 1.86 respectively. Tries measure the impact of vision on balance (EC-EO). The results concerning tries with EC-EO showed the strongest discrimination between groups - OSI p = 0.0088 (relative difference 0.23 ± 0.26) and APSI p = 0.0268 (relative difference 0.17 ± 0.2). YW had a significantly better outcome.Conclusions: YW had better results in all of the parameters taken into consideration, with most of them being significant. This confirms that all of the regressive changes appearing with age influence balance. Lack of visual input (EC) in OW caused significantly worse results in most of the measured parameters, showing that vision is a very important factor for balance maintenance in the elderly.
