SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The analysis of centre of pressure (COP) excursions
is used as an index of postural stability in standing. Conflicting data have been reported over …

Falling is the second most prevalent cause of accidental death in the world. Currently
available clinical tests to assess balance in older people are insufficiently sensitive to screen …

Anecdotal reports suggest that motion sickness may occur among users of contemporary,
consumer-oriented head-mounted display systems and that women may be at greater risk …

Background The bulk of relevant studies compare individual or very few sports and on small
samples of athletes. This requires extensive analysing postural stability in various sports …

Cybersickness is common during head-mounted display (HMD) based virtual reality. This
study examined whether it is possible to:(1) identify people who are more susceptible to this …

Context: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is characterized by repeated ankle sprains, which
have been linked to postural instability. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to identify …

Postural instability is a major risk factor of falling in the elderly. It is well documented that
postural control may decline while performing a concurrent cognitive task and this effect …

Background In many sports, maintaining balance is necessary to compete at a high level.
Also, in many health problems, balance is impaired. Postural sway (PS) is often used as an …

The aim of this analysis was to compare values of centre of pressure (CoP) measures, which
describe the ability to maintain static body balance (range of body sway and velocity in …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses how coordination is essential to cognition and
behavior. It begins with problems inherited from conventional cognitive science, for example …
