“…Chen and Woollacott (2007) recorded kinect and kinematic data to analyze inverse dynamics (lower limbs torque joints). Saavedra et al (2010) and Barela et al (2011) assessed body oscillation. The former used magnetic tracking equipment to assess the rate of head movement and the latter, infrared equipment to determine body oscillation.…”

“…Accordingly, vision is a significant regulatory mechanism of postural control in children with CP. Barela et al (2011) assessed the coupling between visual data and body sway, using the paradigm of the moving room, in which the environment around the children moves while they remain in stable support surface. The authors confirmed a link between visual data and body oscillation in children with spastic hemiplegic CP, because changes in body oscillation occurred in the presence of changes in the environment (movement of the walls of the room).…”

Impairments in sensory processing in children with cerebral palsy (CP) appear to be a cause of the postural control deficits they present and may affect function and participation in daily activities. Understanding the role of sensory processing in postural control can better inform their rehabilitation. Thus, the authors aimed to systematically review the literature concerning effects of sensory information manipulation on postural control in children with CP. A tailored search strategy in relevant databases identified 11 full-text reports that fulfilled the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sensory information affects postural control in children with CP. These children are less responsive to sensory input, and therefore are less able to perform adjustments during sensory perturbation. They exhibit less postural stability in the presence of sensory conflicts. The most commonly studied sources of sensory data are visual and somatosensory information, particularly when processed under static conditions. There are no studies addressing sensory information manipulation on postural control during the performance of functional activities. Further studies addressing manipulation of new sources of sensory cues on postural control are required.

“…- 2 Although it does not severely impair functionality in children, hemiplegic motor impairment produces neuromotor alterations that cause precision deficits in movement performance and deficits in postural control, which is responsible for the stability and alignment between the body segments during the performance of activities 3. Thus, the rehabilitation of children with mild motor impairment of the hemiplegic type may prove to be especially challenging to therapists, requiring profound technical knowledge and creativity 4…”

Objective: To verify the effect of an intervention protocol using virtual reality (VR) on the motor performance and balance of a child with cerebral palsy (CP). Case description: To comply with the proposed objectives, a 7-year old child with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP), GMFCS level I, was submitted to a physiotherapy intervention protocol of 12 45-minute sessions, twice a week, using virtual reality-based therapy. The protocol used a commercially-available console (XBOX®360 Kinect ® ) able to track and reproduce body movements on a screen. Prior to the intervention protocol, the child was evaluated using the Motor Development Scale (MDS) and the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) in order to assess motor development and balance, respectively. Two baseline assessments with a 2-week interval between each other were carried out for each tool. Then, the child was re-evaluated after the twelfth session. The results showed no changes in the two baseline scores. After the intervention protocol, the child improved his scores in both tools used: the PBS score increased by 3 points, reaching the maximal score, and the MDS increased from a much inferior motor performance to just an inferior motor performance. Comments: The evidence presented in this case supports the use of virtual reality as a promising tool to be incorporated into the rehabilitation process of patients with neuromotor dysfunction.

We investigated the influence of sex and age in postural sway during sit‐to‐stand (STS) in children and adolescents of 5–15 years. We evaluated sway during STS in 86 typical participants. STS was divided into three phases: preparation, rising, and stabilization. We calculated for each phase: area, anterior–posterior, and medial–lateral velocity of center‐of‐pressure sway. We applied a stepwise multiple linear regression model to determine if age and sex might be predictors of postural sway during STS. Only age was associated with sway, accounting for between 6.5% and 14.6% of the variability in sway during STS. The age of the subject influences postural sway during STS, but in a small amount. This variable should be taken into account as a variable of control in the assessment of dynamic postural control. Moreover, postural stability during STS was not associated with the sex of the participants.
