“…Similar results were seen in judo players, who develop positive motor skills to improve their postural balance from technical movements in unipodal support 23 . Furthermore, some authors suggested that athletes in combat sports such as karate (martial art similar to TKD) would maximize the changes in visual information to maintain upright standing [25][26][27] . Thus, TKD training may improve the ability to use the visual system to maintain balance 26,27 .…”

“…Such training involves acrobatic jump and spinning kicks, which would stimulate the vestibular system and increase its sensitivity 27 . Fong et al 22 found that TKD training speeds up the development of vestibular function.…”

“…This process is complex and based on postural control from stimulus and responses derived of three systems: visual, vestibular, and somatosensory 8 . The influence of TKD practice on postural balance is thus largely studied in various nonprofessional individuals like children, adolescents 9 , adults 10 , and aged people 11 . However, in professional athletes, balance investigation frequently pointed out in sports such as dance 12 , gymnastic 13 , and judo 14 .…”

| This study aimed to compare the postural balance of professional tae kwon do athletes with a non-tae kwon do adult group. Nineteen participants (nine tae kwon do practitioners and ten non-tae kwon do practitioners) were tested. To measure the postural sway, a force platform was used and the equipment recorded the main parameters: area of center of pressure; mean frequency, and velocity of center of pressure for both anteroposterior and mediolateral directions were measured for all participants. Before starting the assessment, the subjects received instructions and performed familiarization with the equipment and protocol. Participants were instructed to carry out three balance tests on a single-leg stance position with eyes opened. Values obtained in the postural assessment of professional athletes with the force platform were lower for all parameters compared to non-practitioners, except the frequency of center of pressure in the mediolateral direction. However, a significant difference (p=0.021) between the groups was found only in the center of pressure velocity parameter in the anteroposterior direction. These results have any implications on sport rehabilitation programs for balance assessments in athletes.Keywords | Martial Arts; Postural Balance; Athletes.Comparison of postural balance between professional tae kwon do athletes and young adults RESUMO | Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar o equilíbrio postural de atletas profissionais de tae kwon do com um grupo de adultos não praticantes do esporte. Dezenove participantes (nove praticantes profissionais de tae kwon do e dez não praticantes) foram testados. Para avaliar a oscilação postural, uma plataforma de força foi utilizada e o equipamento registrou os principais parâmetros: área do centro de pressão; frequência e velocidade do centro de pressão tanto para a direção anteroposterior, quanto para a médio-lateral. Essas medidas foram registradas para todos os participantes. Antes de iniciar a avaliação, os sujeitos receberam orientações e se familiarizaram com o equipamento e o protocolo. Também foram instruídos a realizar três testes de equilíbrio em apoio unipodal com os olhos abertos. Os valores obtidos na avaliação postural de atletas profissionais com o uso da plataforma de força foram inferiores para todos os parâmetros, quando comparados com aqueles dos não praticantes, com exceção da frequência do centro de pressão para a direção médio-lateral. No entanto, encontrou-se uma diferença significativa (p=0, 021) entre os grupos somente no parâmetro da velocidade anteroposterior do centro de pressão. Esses resultados apresentam implicações nos programas de reabilitação esportiva para avaliação do equilíbrio postural em atletas.Descritores | Artes Marciais; Equilíbrio Postural; Atletas.

“…The VOR allows a stable image to form when the head is moving, which is important to balance regulation (4). Linear accelerations are sensed by the utricle and saccule, while angular accelerations are sensed by fluid movement in each of three semicircular canals (one semicircular canal for each rotational axis: x, y and Cadence M.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to compare the balance performance of control subjects and varsity figure skaters after spinning on a turntable for 6 seconds. It was hypothesized figure skaters would demonstrate better balance control after spinning. Methods: 9 female figure skaters and 9 female control subjects stood as still as possible for 15 seconds on a Kistler force plate during both a control condition and after spinning for 6 seconds on a turntable. Balance performance was quantified by the percentage of total time the center of pressure (CoP) was within a 5mm radius of the center of their base of support (BoS). Results: In the control condition, figure skaters and control participants did not have significantly different balance ability. In the post-spin condition, figure skaters were significantly better at maintaining their CoP within a smaller area. Conclusions: These results are valuable from a training and coaching perspective because they suggest that balance performance after spinning can be improved with training.

“…23,26,32 Problems in the modulation and integration of sensory input coming from the vestibular, proprioception, visual and auditory systems may reduce motor performance, and mainly balance and manual dexterity. 33 The relationship between deficiencies in sensory processing and impaired motor control due to possible mutual neurodevelopmental underlying mechanisms may be supported by fact that SPD is highly prevalent among other co morbidities of DCD such as ADHD.…”

Sensory processing difficulties (SPD) and their relation to motor performance and to child's perceived competence among children with developmental coordination disorders Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Literature reviewDevelopmental coordination disorders (DCD) affect approximately 6% of school aged children and significantly impair their activities of daily living and their academic performance. These impairments are not explicable by age, IQ or neurological condition.1,2 Some studies suggest that deficits in motor coordination among children with DCD could be related to sensory processing difficulties (SPD) affecting their motor acuity and their perceptual processes. 3,4The phenomenon of SPD is known to be prevalent among 5-15% of the population.5 SPD represent the inability of the central nervous system to modulate the degree, intensity, and nature of responses to sensory input. Thus, SPD may result in sensory hyper or hypo sensitivity.6 Individuals with hypersensitivity have low neurological threshold to sensation and thus respond to sensation faster, with more intensity for a longer duration. 7 They may experience non aversive stimuli as painful and thus express aggressive behaviours, withdrawal, irritability, moodiness, and poor socialization. On the other hand, individuals with sensory hyposensitivity have high neurological threshold to sensation and thus experience difficulties in detecting incoming sensory information. They are described as unmotivated or self-absorbed. Some people with hyposensitivity counter act to their high neurological threshold and actively seek for rich sensory stimuli -they enjoy rich sensory environment and actively initiate behaviours that create sensations. 8Studies that focused on SPD among children with DCD referred to specific modalities -mainly to the visual and to the vestibular sensations. Wilson & McKenzie 9 highlighted that visual-spatial processing; kinaesthetic perception and cross-modal integration in DCD may be impaired and affect children's movement performance. Indeed, visual-spatial processing and visual-kinesthetic integration which are prerequisites for motor control and stability are impaired AbstractObjective: Movement is dependent on sensory input. Both Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD) and sensory processing difficulties (SPD) may reduce child's self-competence and daily function. However, the knowledge about SPD among children with DCD and their relation to their motor performance and selfcompetence is scarce. This study aimed to (1) compare sensory processing abilities and self competence between children with DCD and typical controls (2) examine the relationship between SPD, DCD severity and child's perceived competence among children with DCD. Methods:The study included 90 children aged 4-10 years: 32 children with DCD and 58 typical controls. All children performed the Movement Assessment Battery for children (M-ABC). Those who scored lower than the 15% on the M-ABC were included in the study group. The parents of all child...
