Visual disability negatively impacts balance, everyday self-efficacy, and mobility and often
leads affected subjects to perceive physical exercise as a burdensome challenge thus …

Sport practice has the widely demonstrated potential of promoting well-being and
physical/mental health, especially in disabled individuals. Nowadays, visually impaired …

Postural control requires the sensory integration of visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive
signals. In the absence of vision, either by blindfolding or in blind individuals, balance …

Background The loss of vision leads to behavioral and motor adaptations that do not
necessarily translate to good functioning with regards to daily tasks. Aim To investigate …

The postural system requires the sensory systems to maintain postural control (PC). Blind
subjects use the somatosensory system to keep PC whereas sighted subjects use the visual …

Subjects with low vision often use a cane when standing and walking autonomously in
everyday life. One aim of this study was to assess differences in the body stabilizing effect …

Background: Postural stability is quite mandatory when practicing high-performance sports.
Investigations of postural stability and related variables in judokas with visual impairment …

Background This study investigated the whole-body stability dynamics during upright stance
by applying a set of variables characterizing the mathematical optimization process that …

In blind subjects, postural control (PC) can be negatively affected (1, 2), as this population
often exhibits lower muscular strength (3), reduced mobility and functionality (4, 5) …

Background This study aimed to identify the postural sway variables that can distinguish
between ballet dancers with high and low occurrences of musculoskeletal injuries. Methods …
