“…The study of the ICCs on four posturo-stabilometric parameters in six different mandibular/visual conditions calculated on two distanced sessions, demonstrated that the examination with the force plate not only has a good intrasession reliability, as Bauer et al (2010), Ruhe et al (2010), Corriveau et al (2000) said, but also has a good intersession reliability.…”

“…Previous literature on intrasession variability (Bauer et al, 2010;Ruhe et al, 2010), focused only on the precision and the accuracy of the instrument and the variation of the phenomena, suggesting the utility of the instrument in a diagnostic setting but limited to a single test session. It is still not clear if this instrument could be useful during the follow-up analysis of a therapeutic plan.…”

“…A survey of the PubMed MEDLINE database and a review article (Ruhe et al, 2010) shows that some articles (Corriveau et al, 2000;Lafond et al, 2004;Lin et al, 2008;Salavati et al, 2009;Santos et al, 2008) assessed the reliability of the force plate examination, considering only the intrasession variability, obtaining excellent results. The intersession reliability was the subject of a recent study by Perinetti et al (2012).…”

a b s t r a c tAim of the study: To evaluate the intersession reliability of a posturo-stabilometric examination. Methods: Single blind clinical trial conducted in two sessions over two weeks. 44 healthy volunteers free from postural and temporomandibular disorders. All the subjects complied with the criteria for completing the study. All the subjects underwent two sessions of posturo-stabilometric examinations in different visual and mandibular conditions. Sway area, sway length and the coordinates of the center of pressure were evaluated and statistically analyzed using the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Conclusions:The posturo-stabilometric examination carried out using a force platform has a good intrasession and intersession reliability, especially considering sway velocity, COP X and COP Y parameters. The force platform usefulness in analyzing static posture is confirmed in any medical field.

This study introduces the Balance Exercises Circuit (BEC) and examines its effects on muscle strength and power, balance, and functional performance in older women. Thirty-five women aged 60+ (mean age = 69.31, SD = 7.35) were assigned to either a balance exercises group (BG, n = 14) that underwent 50-min sessions twice weekly, of a 12-week BEC program, or a wait-list control group (CG, n = 21). Outcome measures were knee extensor peak torque (PT), rate of force development (RFD), balance, Timed Up & Go (TUG), 30-s chair stand, and 6-min walk tests, assessed at baseline and 12 weeks. Twenty-three participants completed follow-up assessments. Mixed analysis of variance models examined differences in outcomes. The BG displayed improvements in all measures at follow-up and significantly improved compared with CG on, isokinetic PT60, PT180 (p = 0.02), RFD (p < 0.05), balance with eyes closed (p values range .02 to <.01) and TUG (p = 0.03), all with medium effect sizes. No changes in outcome measures were observed in the CG. BEC improved strength, power, balance, and functionality in older women. The BEC warrants further investigation as a fall prevention intervention.

“…The data acquisition was initiated 3 seconds after starting the testing procedure and was done in a total of 3 trials (Pinsault & Vuillerme, 2009;Ruhe et al, 2010). All individuals were asked to stand as still as possible (Zok et al, 2008), with the support base aligned at shoulder width, keeping their arms by their sides and to focus on a target 2 meters away and at eye level during 30 seconds (Le Clair & Riach, 1996).…”

Objective: To study the influence of prolonged wearing of unstable shoes on standing postural control in prolonged standing workers. Methods:The participants were divided into two groups: one wore unstable shoes while the other wore conventional shoes for 8 weeks. Stabilometry parameters related to centre of pressure (CoP), rambling (RM) and trembling (TR) as well as the total agonist/antagonist muscle activity, antagonist co-activation and reciprocal activation were evaluated during upright standing, before and after the 8 week period. In both moments, the subjects were evaluated wearing the unstable shoes and in barefoot. Results:The unstable shoe condition presented increased CoP displacement related variables and decreased co-activation command compared to barefoot before and after the intervention. The prolonged wearing of unstable shoes led to: (1) reduction of medial-lateral CoP root mean square and area; (2) decreased anteroposterior RM displacement; (3) increased anteroposterior RM mean velocity and mediolateral RM displacement; (4) decreased anteroposterior TR RMS; and (5) increased thigh antagonist co-activation in the unstable shoe condition. Conclusion:The unstable shoe condition is associated to a higher destabilizing effect that leads to a selection of more efficient and accurate postural commands compared to barefoot.Prolonged wearing of unstable shoes provides increased effectiveness and performance of the postural control system, while wearing of unstable shoes in upright standing, that are reflected by changes in CoP related variables and by a reorganization of postural control commands.
