Biofeedback Improves Postural Control Recovery From Multi-Axis Discrete Perturbations
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Multi-axis vibrotactile feedback has been shown to significantly reduce the root-mean-square (RMS) sway, elliptical fits to sway trajectory area, and the time spent outside of the no feedback zone in individuals ... -
Complexity-based measures inform tai chi’s impact on standing postural control in older adults with peripheral neuropathy
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Tai Chi training enhances physical function and may reduce falls in older adults with and without balance disorders, yet its effect on postural control as quantified by the magnitude or speed of center-of-pressure ... -
The effect of vibrotactile feedback on postural sway during locomotor activities
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Although significant progress has been achieved in developing sensory augmentation methods to improve standing balance, attempts to extend this research to locomotion have been quite limited in scope. The goal ... -
Minimizing the evidence-practice gap – a prospective cohort study incorporating balance training into pulmonary rehabilitation for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: We have recently demonstrated the efficacy of balance training in addition to Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) at improving measures of balance associated with an increased risk of falls in individuals with Chronic ...
