Proper balance control is a key aspect of acitivities of daily living. The aim of this study was
to determine the contribution of body weight to predict balance stability. The balance stability …

Objective To determine (1) whether obese older adults had higher prevalence of falls and
ambulatory stumbling, impaired balance and lower health-related quality of life (HRQL) than …

Research that evaluated both static and dynamic stability was performed, to clarify the
impact of excessive body weight on postural control. The spontaneous center of foot …

Postural stability is crucial in maintaining body balance during quiet standing, locomotion,
and any activities that require a high degree of balance performance, such as participating …

Obesity modifies the body geometry by adding mass to different regions and it influences the
biomechanics of activities of daily living. Weight influences postural stability, but there is no …

The time course of the center of pressure (CoP) during human quiet standing, corresponding
to body sway, is a stochastic process, influenced by a variety of features of the underlying …

Older individuals have impaired balance control, particularly those that are frail and/or have
sensory deprivations. Obese individuals show faster body sway during upright stance than …
