Efficacy and effectiveness of a balance-enhancing insoleStephen D Perry
Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario, Canada
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 63:595-602. 2008..This study investigated the effect of a balance-enhancing insole (designed to facilitate foot-sole sensation) on lateral gait stability and evaluated its effectiveness in daily life...
Contribution of vision and cutaneous sensation to the control of centre of mass (COM) during gait terminationS D Perry
Gait and Posture Laboratory, Department of Kinesiology, Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1
Brain Res 913:27-34. 2001..The results demonstrated that visual information about self-motion and object-motion and sensation from the plantar surface of the foot play phase-specific roles in the control of COM during gait termination...
Evaluation of age-related plantar-surface insensitivity and onset age of advanced insensitivity in older adults using vibratory and touch sensation testsStephen D Perry
Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ont, Canada N2L 3C5
Neurosci Lett 392:62-7. 2006..Monofilaments are useful to assess the age-related insensitivity but are not when attempting to identify the onset of advanced insensitivity...
Influence of footwear midsole material hardness on dynamic balance control during unexpected gait terminationStephen D Perry
Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Wilfrid Laurier University, 75 University Avenue West, Waterloo, Ont, Canada N2L 3C5
Gait Posture 25:94-8. 2007..In conclusion, the present study suggests that variations in midsole material and even the presence of it, impairs the dynamic balance control system...
Interventions to promote more effective balance-recovery reactions in industrial settings: new perspectives on footwear and handrailsBrian E Maki
Centre for Studies in Aging, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, 2075 Bayview Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Ind Health 46:40-50. 2008..There is also some evidence that these interventions may improve balance control in younger persons; however, further research is needed to confirm their efficacy in preventing falls in industrial settings...
Preventing falls in older adults: new interventions to promote more effective change-in-support balance reactionsBrian E Maki
Centre fo Studies in Aging, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
J Electromyogr Kinesiol 18:243-54. 2008..Finally, work is underway to investigate the effectiveness of handrail cueing in attracting attention to the rail and ensuring that the brain registers its location, thereby facilitating more rapid and accurate grasping...
Inter-limb centre of pressure symmetry during gait among stroke survivorsAmanda E Chisholm
Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Gait Posture 33:238-43. 2011..We view this information as potentially important to clinicians as an outcome measure for gait rehabilitation...
Effect of facilitation of sensation from plantar foot-surface boundaries on postural stabilization in young and older adultsB E Maki
Centre for Studies in Aging, Sunnybrook and Women s College Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 54:M281-7. 1999....
Effects of shoe characteristics on dynamic stability when walking on even and uneven surfaces in young and older peopleJasmine C Menant
Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, Randwick, NSW, Australia
Arch Phys Med Rehabil 89:1970-6. 2008....
Variability of the impact transient during repeated barefoot walking trialsAnn L Revill
Department of Physiology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
J Biomech 41:926-30. 2008..In conclusion, our data suggest that baseline impact force measurements during walking are stable and do not need to be recorded between experimental conditions in walking studies...
