Purpose: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are a group of distressing and traumatic occurrences that occur during a person's early years, such as abuse, neglect, family problems, or violent interactions. Regardless of whether they occur throughout a person's developmental stage, these occurrences can have a long-term and negative impact on an individual's emotional well-being and general health. This study investigates the profound connection between early hardship and an individual's mental health. This scholarly review conducts a comprehensive examination of the objectives that support its research endeavour. In addition, this research will offer insight on the complex nature of ACEs and their significant influence on mental well-being consequences. Design: The material for this study was gathered from a variety of secondary sources, including journals, book chapters, conference proceedings, and other online sites. The body of research has been thoroughly examined and summarized. It is also used to identify the research objectives and gaps in the field. Findings: This meta-analysis investigates the multi-faceted connections between adverse childhood experiences and mental health. It underlines the critical need for interdisciplinary efforts to address ACEs and their effects on mental health, calling for early intervention and support networks to break the cycle of adversity and develop mental health resilience among affected persons. Originality/Value: This study examines current literature and incorporates secondary data acquired from a variety of online resources, such as research journals, technical book chapters, conference papers, and a few websites. All the articles selected were recent, from respected publications, and pertinent to the planned task. A concerted effort is made to select a study topic and carry out the research. Paper type: Review paper

Background: Balance and proprioception are essential elements in postural control and injury prevention. Proprioception, the body’s sense of position and movement, is closely tied to balance, which depends on input from the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. This article explores the link between trauma experiences and proprioceptive dysfunction, emphasizing how heightened muscle tone, dissociation, and altered sensory processing contribute to balance issues and the risk of injury. Method: The study included 48 participants, aged 18–25. Participants completed the Emotional Regulation Scale, Dissociative Experiences Scale II, and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, after which they had to stand on a BTrackS Balance Plate while being exposed to images that are designed to evoke emotions from the OASIS image set. The balance plate software calculated outcomes of the participants’ postural sway (total sway, sway area, root mean square (RMS) to the mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) way, and excursion to ML and AP ways). Results: Dissociative experience shows significant correlation with RMS ML when viewing positive pictures (rτ = 0.207, p = 0.045) and when viewing negative pictures again; scores with RMS ML (rτ = 0.204, p = 0.049) but also with RMS AP (rτ = 0.209, p = 0.042) and with Excursion ML (rτ = 0.200, p = 0.049) were significant. Experiences of physical abuse affected certain indicators of postural sway when viewing positive images compared to participants with no such experience (sway area: U = 374.50, p = 0.027; RMS AP: U = 383.50, p = 0.016; Excursion ML: U = 397.00, p = 0.007). Similarly, physical neglect affected postural sway during viewing of negative images (sway area: U = 366.50, p = 0.003; RMS AP: U = 371.00, p = 0.004; Excursion ML: U = 347.00, p = 0.034; and Excursion AP: U = 353.00, p = 0.010). Conclusions: The study highlights that dissociation disrupts balance in trauma survivors, especially under emotional stress which highlights the potential for motor-based treatments.
