Effectiveness of Global Postural Reeducation in Postural Changes and Postural Stability in Young Adults.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
January 2025
Porto Biomechanics Laboratory (LABIOMEP), University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal.
Background: Postural changes are considered a public health issue and have gathered significant interest in both research and clinical practice.
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) in improving postural changes and postural stability in healthy young adults. Additionally, this study aims to identify the main postural changes in the sample population.
Enhanced Foot Proprioception Through 3-Minute Walking Bouts with Ultra-Minimalist Shoes on Surfaces That Mimic Highly Rugged Natural Terrains.

Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy.
The use of minimalist shoes can lead to enhanced foot somatosensory activation and postural stability but can also increase the incidence of overuse injuries during high-impact or prolonged activities. Therefore, it appears useful to explore new strategies that employ minimalist shoes to effectively facilitate the somatosensory activation of the foot while minimizing acute and cumulative joint stress and risk of injury. To this purpose, this study introduces a novel exercise paradigm: walking for three minutes in ultra-minimalist shoes on artificial flat surfaces designed to mimic highly rugged natural terrains.

Department of Sport Sciences and Wellness, University of Naples "Parthenope", 80100, Naples, Italy.
Background: Postural stability is maintained by the Postural Control System (PCS), consisting of anatomical structures of Central Nervous System and peripheral receptors, interacting with each other, in order to keep whole-body balance by modulating the myofascial chains against gravity. The vision is one of the most important peripheral receptors for postural control. Previous studies analyzed the changes of body sway during viewing nearby (VNT) and distant (VDT) targets in healthy population without considering the feet adaptations related to the body weight distribution.

Acta Med Okayama
October 2024
Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Okayama University.
Article Synopsis
- Research has primarily focused on static postural control in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), while dynamic postural control has been less studied.
- This study involved 50 female AIS patients to examine factors influencing the index of postural stability (IPS), measured through stabilometry.
- Key findings indicate that coronal balance, major curve position, and age are related to dynamic postural control ability, while the Cobb angle did not show any significant correlation.
Stabilometry in Relation to Hip and Knee Muscle Force in Children with Surgically Treated Unilateral Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis.
Children (Basel)
September 2024
Department of Pediatric Surgery, "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania.
Background/objectives: The main aim of our study was to analyze the stabilometric parameters in relation to hip and knee muscle force in children with unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) who had undergone surgical treatment. Another objective was to compare the stabilometry in three testing situations (eyes open, eyes closed, and head retroflexed).
Methods: In total, 26 patients with unilateral right SCFE treated via in situ fixation with one percutaneous screw performed stabilometry assessments under three different situations (with their eyes open, with their eyes closed, and with their head retroflexed) and isometric muscle force assessment of the bilateral hip flexors, extensors, abductors and adductors and bilateral knee flexors and extensors.
