Summary: The proficiency of fundamental movement skill (FMS) is influenced by both maturation and diverse perceptual-motor experiences during childhood. This study investigates the potential changes to postural control in children after an educational gymnastics course. The results show that educational gymnastics enables children to make more rapid improvements to postural performance and control. Additionally, there are differences in postural control changes between males and females over a 3-month period.

Summary: This study reports the use of a wearable accelerometer to evaluate balance function and compares its performance with a conventional stabilometer. The results show a significant positive correlation between the measurements obtained from the wearable device and stabilometer, suggesting that non-medical wearable devices can be used to assess balance outside the hospital setting.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of real-time visual feedback during a one-week balance training on postural sway in young karatekas. Results suggest that incorporating real-time feedback may induce greater sport-specific balance-training effects in young athletes.

Summary: This study investigated the postural effects of proprioceptive manipulations in orthograde posture on Non-Specific Low Back Pain patients for the first time. The results showed decreased sway speed and speed variance, without modulation in the main direction of sway, and the patients self-reported improved clinical outcomes after the manipulations.

Summary: This study aimed to assess and compare lower extremity proprioception and postural stability in individuals with and without osteoporosis, and found a significant correlation between the two. Osteoporosis patients exhibited higher errors in proprioception and increased postural instability, highlighting the importance of improving fall prevention strategies and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with osteoporosis.

Summary: This study examines the dual task interference of cognitive and postural activities by setting individualized difficulty levels for tasks. The results show that postural sway features are affected by the individualized difficulty level, with more significant reductions observed in challenging postural tasks.

Summary: This article reviews recent studies on postural control, specifically focusing on the role of foot and visual inputs in a static postural stance. The authors performed a search and synthesis of articles from electronic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, PubMed, and ResearchGate published until 2021. The aim of this review is to provide reference values for future studies on postural control in both healthy individuals and patients, and to encourage the development of protocols that consider the specificity of different systems responsible for human balance control.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship of cervicocephalic kinesthesia with postural balance and oculomotor control in neck pain patients. The findings suggest that neck kinesthetic functions play a crucial role in oculomotor and balance control, particularly under neck torsion positions in neck pain patients.

Summary: In this study, the immediate and 4-week effects of compression garments (CG) on balance in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) patients were evaluated. The results showed that wearing CG reduced sway velocity in dynamic conditions immediately, and after 4 weeks of intervention, the PT + CG group demonstrated greater improvements in sway velocity and area on a laterally oscillating platform with eyes-closed, as well as Romberg quotient on foam cushion, compared to the PT group. Both groups experienced a decrease in pain after 4 weeks with no significant difference between them.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of movement and postural sway. The results showed that fear of bending the trunk in the frontal plane was positively associated with several measures of postural sway, while fear of bending the trunk in the sagittal plane was not associated with any specific measure of sway.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of artificial gravity on the deterioration of standing balance and anticipatory postural adjustments of trunk muscles induced by 60-day head-down tilt bed rest. The results showed that artificial gravity partially mitigated the deterioration in standing balance, but did not have a protective effect on trunk muscle responses.

Summary: This study compared the acute effects of randomized and blocked lower-extremity proprioceptive training on balance and postural adjustments. The results showed no significant difference in balance and postural control between randomized and blocked training in healthy young adults, but the improvements were test-specific.

Summary: Balance is crucial for success in various disciplines, with biathlon being a representative example. A stable posture is important for shooting scores. This study investigated the effects of biathlon training on postural control and found that biathletes exhibited different motor control strategies compared to beginners and a control group. External and internal focus during shooting influenced postural control. Biathletes demonstrated more regular patterns in maintaining balance during shooting and aiming at the target, indicating specific balance training is associated with the ability to handle challenging tasks.

Summary: This study presents a simple model for estimating blood glucose concentration in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus patients. The model includes power-law kinetics for intraperitoneal insulin absorption and a separate glucagon sensitivity state. By assessing parameter identifiability and performing model reduction, a simplified model with only 10 parameters is obtained, accurately representing glucose dynamics during intraperitoneal insulin and glucagon injections. The proposed model facilitates closed-loop control based on intraperitoneal bi-hormonal model in animal trials.
