Several statements on the still debated issue of stabilometry standardization were agreed upon by the ISPGR Standardization Committee. * A set of metrological characteristics for stabilometric platforms was defined. * Relying both on practice and experimental verification it was agreed that, to obtain appropriate accuracy and sensitivity in the Romberg Test: * The acquisition interval should not be less than 25 s. * The sampling frequency should be at least 50 Hz. * After careful consideration it was decided that the recommendations made in the previous Standardization proposal in 1983 regarding environmental conditions should be maintained.

Posture and vision: How different distances of viewing target affect postural stability and plantar pressure parameters in healthy population.

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.

The subtle sway of human standing posture began to be studied in the 19th century. Since then, numerous approaches - from the early statokinesiometers to the more advanced force platforms or 3D-posture recording systems - have been developed to understand human postural control physiology and its clinical implications. French physician Pierre-Marie Gagey made significant contributions to the field of posturology, a discipline focused on the intricacies of human postural control.

Objectives: Assess the association of hearing on sex-specific overall mortality and death from acute cardiovascular disease and evaluate if these effects are modulated by postural balance.
Study Design: Cohort study.
Setting: Otolaryngology department at an academic hospital.
Acute dissociation as part of the defense cascade: Associations with behavioral, autonomic, and experiential threat responses in posttraumatic stress disorder.

Dissociative symptoms, such as depersonalization and derealization, are experienced by about half of individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Theoretical models propose that acute dissociation is accompanied by specific behavioral, physiological, and experiential alterations and contributes to unfavorable PTSD symptom course. Yet, empirical evidence is scarce.

Background: Scars interfere with the motor system; however, the influence of c-section scars has not been described yet. The aim of this study is to relate the presence of abdominal scars from a caesarean section with changes in postural control-stability and orientation and abdominal and lumbar neuromuscular control in the orthostatic position.
Methods: Cross-sectional analytical observational study comparing healthy primiparous women with caesarean delivery ( = 9) and physiologic delivery ( = 12) who have delivered more than one year before.
