Association of bone mineral density with postural stability and the fear of falling in Spanish postmenopausal women

Objective: The purpose of our study was to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and postural stability and the fear of falling in a 50- to 65-year-old postmenopausal population. Study design: A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted on 118 postmenopausal women. According to their BMD values, participants were divided into two groups: BMD>-2.0SD […]

Assessment of Postural stability in young, phisically active men with the history of ankle sprain

Background: Ankle sprain results in damage, not only to the ligaments, but also to many mechanoreceptors which enable detection of motion and joint position. The aim of the study was to detect deficits in postural stability in the sample of patients with the history of low degree ankle sprains. Material and methods: The sample comprised

Short-term effects of two feedback systems on the self-correction movement in patients with idiopathic scoliosis

Background and Objectives: Physiotherapy exercises of schools that demonstrated their efficacy through scientific studies are recommended in the idiopathic scoliosis treatment: they have to be performed in front of a mirror, which acts as a useful visual feedback system for learning and performing the self-correction movement. Feedback systems are also used in orthopaedic rehabilitation as
