“…Another possibility, given the study’s limitations, would be to study and compare student pilots from other countries in the same course, to increase the sample size. 28–32 Despite the limitations mentioned, this study indicates that a yoga program, tailored to the needs of military pilots, in a way that can increase the effect size (e.g. 1 year of yoga instead of 12 weeks), may be one of the tools to incorporate in a mandatory sports exercise training program, to schedule alongside the existing pilot’s training course, as it could improve their postural control responses related to increased resilience to SD.…”

“…27,28 Pilot's CoP response was analyzed using the Biosignals Plux force platform, to evaluate the effects of the yoga training program on the systems that influence postural behavior, namely the vestibular system. 29 To our knowledge, there is no study of yoga in this specific military context, although the existing literature with other populations suggests benefits.

This study examined the effects of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Supta on Center of Pressure (CoP) displacement in healthy student pilots, using the Biosignals Plux force platform, under the premise that yoga would lead to improvements in postural control responses. CoP response was analyzed by the Plux (Portugal) one-dimensional force platform. A total of 18 military pilots participated in this study. The pilots were in their Portuguese Air Force Academy course “Masters in Military Aeronautics: Aviator Pilot Specialist,” also called Tirocinium. Participants were randomly assigned to yoga classes (intervention group) or a waiting list (control group) and completed a flight emergency protocol in a flight simulator. CoP displacement was collected before and after all these maneuvers had been completed and both measures occurred before (baseline values) and after a 12-week yoga program. Although the differences observed between groups are not significant, after calculating the effect size, we can theorize that the intervention group maintains CoP displacement before and after flight and the control group has a higher CoP displacement after flight simulation. CoP information collected through noninvasive portable devices such as the Biosignals Plux force platform can relay important information quickly and easily. Knowing under what circumstances pilots are affected can then lead to development or enhancement of training strategies to improve those psychophysiological responses. In this study the effects, while not significant, are present, so it may be necessary to add more weeks of training to make the yoga program effective.

“…Note that there are studies using EEG and MEG to investigate physiological features, dynamics, and networks in brain regions, outside of the cerebellum in these movement disorders. We also identified these studies that have used common measures such as source localization, connectivity, and coherence in ataxia [85][86][87][88][89][90][91], tremor , and dystonia to study brain physiology but these studies do not include the cerebellum; thus, they are not reviewed in detail here. The applications of EEG and MEG based source analysis and connectivity analysis have a wide range of utility.…”

The cerebellum plays an important role in movement disorders, specifically in symptoms of ataxia, tremor, and dystonia. Understanding the physiological signals of the cerebellum contributes to insights into the pathophysiology of these movement disorders and holds promise in advancing therapeutic development. Non-invasive techniques such as electroencephalogram and magnetoencephalogram can record neural signals with high temporal resolution at the millisecond level, which is uniquely suitable to interrogate cerebellar physiology. These techniques have recently been implemented to study cerebellar physiology in healthy subjects as well as individuals with movement disorders. In the present review, we focus on the current understanding of cerebellar physiology using these techniques to study movement disorders.
