Balance is essential in daily life, and when trying to improve balance, it is found that traditional balance exercises have little adherence. Horse riding has been shown to be beneficial for proprioceptive balance, yet there is no indication to how often it is necessary to do it. This research aims to …

PURPOSE: The patients diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type (EDS-HT) are characterized by pain, proprioceptive inacuity, muscle weakness, potentially leading to activity limitations. In EDS-HT, a direct relationship between muscle strength, proprioception and activity limitations has …

Background Several studies in recent decades have examined the relationship between proprioceptive deficits and neck pain. However, there is no uniform conclusion on the relationship between the two. Clinically, proprioception is evaluated using the Joint Position Sense Error (JPSE), which reflects …

Patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP) may use postural control strategies that differ from healthy subjects. To study these possible differences, we measured the amount and structure of postural sway, and the response to muscle vibration in a working cohort of 215 subjects. Subjects were standing …

The effect of alterations in the processing of proprioceptive signals, on postural control, has been studied using muscle vibration effects. However, reliability and agreement of muscle vibration have still to be addressed.This study aimed to assess intra- and interday reliability and agreement of vibration …

Laboratory study using a repeated measures design. The aim of this study was to determine if ankle proprioception is targeted in exercises on unstable surfaces. Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) has recurrence rates over 70%, which are believed to be due to a reduced accuracy of proprioceptive signals from …

Aanleiding: In de sport is een hoge incidentie van enkeltrauma's, met name een inversietrauma. Eerder enkelletsel kan zorgen voor een grotere kans om opnieuw een enkeltrauma op te lopen. Balanstraining kan ervoor zorgen dat de kans op een recidief kleiner wordt door een bijdrage te leveren aan het herstel …

Optimal postural control is an essential capacity in daily life and can be highly variable. The purpose of this study was to investigate if young people have the ability to choose the optimal postural control strategy according to the postural condition and to investigate if non-specific low back pain …

Introduction Nowadays, humans are used to sit a lot during daily activities. Most of the time this happens in a relaxed way. This position is also called ´slouching´ or ´slouched posture´. In the slouched posture the pelvis and the lumbar spine are flexed and places the muscle spindles, muscles and ligaments …
