Clinical trials: Postural Balance
Cerebral Palsy
Sensorimotor Control During Postural Transitions in CP
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a light electrical stimulation to leg muscles and joints can help people with Cerebral Palsy (CP) maintain balance during everyday tasks such as getting up from a chair and…

Executive Functions, Postural Balance
Can Training Balance, or Enjoying Music, Improve Attention, Problem-solving and/or Behavior Control Abilities?
This randomized controlled trial will investigate the hypothesis that since balance and executive functions (EFs) require a similar neural circuit and EFs are recruited when trying to maintain balance, that training balance might…

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Effects of Cerebellum or Supplementary Motor Area Functional Inactivation on Gait and Balance Control
In human, the physiology of gait and balance is not clearly established. By using functional imaging and electrophysiological techniques, various brain regions from the cortex to the midbrain area, including the cerebellum, have…

Ankle Disease
Analysis of Postural Control in Children Suffering From Triceps Suralis Shortening.
The central nervous system (CNS) coordinates balance through the visual, vestibular, and somatoproprioceptive systems, which produce muscle activation for postural control.
