Short-term Effects of a Proprioceptive Training Sessione with Unstable Platforms on the Monopodal Stabilometry of Athletes

Purpose: To analyze the short-term effects of a proprioceptive session on the monopodal stabilometry of athletes. [Subjects] Thirty-seven athletes were divided into a control group (n=17) and an experimental group (n=20). Methods: Both groups performed a conventional warm-up, after which a 25-minute proprioceptive session on ustable platforms was carried out only by the experimental group. …

Footprin evaluations by a new baropodometric platform in young basket and soccer athletes

Introduzione: Il nostro studio e stato sviluppato mettendo a confronto giovani atleti appartenenti a due sport di squadra quali calcio e pallacanestro, con l’obiettivo di verificare l’eventuale diversa distribuzione del peso corporeo sui due arti inferiori. Nello stesso tempo si e andati alla ricerca di possibili condizioni di ipo/ipercarico sulle due parti in cui si …

Evaluation of relationship between balance parameters and bone mineral density

Abstract: In the present study, a group of people aged 20-85 who visited the bone mineral densitometry center of the Shariati Hospital, were analyzed. Participants were asked to stand up barefoot on Wii balance board and in front of a Kinect sensor. We calculated the center of pressure (COP) and center of mass (COM) using …

Effects of tinnitus on postural control and stabilization: a pilot study

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the tinnitus’s impacts on postural control. Material and methods: Sixty-six subjects (age: 46,71 ± 15,12 years, height 166,32 ± 8,88 cm, weight 64,85 ± 12,57 kg) with idiopathic tinnitus were recruited for the study and were tested. Each subject underwent to ‘Romberg test’, ‘Static balance’ and …

Effects of taekwondo on postural system – comparison of posturographic parameters between young tennis athletes and young taekwondo atlete

Aim: Apart from maturation of the sensory systems, the development of postural control is influenced by activity and experience. The training in dynamic sports has been reported to improve postural control of the young athletes (Herpin et al. 2010; Sahin et al. 2015). This study aimed to identify the different status of balance and sensory …

Effects of an anaerobic lactic training session on the postural stability of athletes

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the short-term ef-fects of a lactate-accumulation training session on postural stability. Methods: Fifteen athletes performed two trainings sessions (warm-up and lactic-training session). Before training (Pre), immediately after (Post0min), thirty minutes later (Post30min) and after 24 hours (Post24h), athletes were subject to a bipodal and a monopodal …

Correcting Congenital Talipes Equinovarus in Children using three different corrective methods

Abstract: Equinus, varus, cavus, and adduction are typical signs of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). Forefoot adduction remains a difficulty from using previous corrective methods. This study aims to develop a corrective method to reduce the severity of forefoot adduction of CTEV children with moderate deformities during their walking age. The devised method was compared with …

Changes in balance ability, power output, and stretch-shortening cycle utilisation after two high-intensity intermittent training protocols in endurance r

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the acute effects of 2 different high intensity intermittent trainings (HIITs) on postural control, countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), and stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) utilisation, and to compare the changes induced protocols in those variables in endurance runners. Methods: Eighteen recreationally trained endurance runners participated in this study and …
