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.
Enclosing 95% confidence area and volume to center of pressure and center of mass in posturography using optimization algorithm and coordinate ascent methods.

Balance control has been evaluated using center of pressure (CoP) and center of mass (CoM). One of the most common approaches in stabilometry is enclosing ellipse to 95% of data using principal component analysis (PCA) or covariance methods. However, these methods have limitations, including normality assumption, lack of accuracy, and sample size influence.

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.

It is well-known that swimming purposes to increase the tonic-postural control. Beyond its physiological advantages, swimming also offers an exclusive platform to explore the complex interplay between body biomechanics and posture. The specific aim of this study was to investigate the effects of main swimming styles on postural balance in young athletes.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba 305-8575, Ibaraki, Japan.
Background: We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine two-leg- and one-leg-type balance characteristics in athletes and explore factors related to their balance ability.
Methods: A total of 213 participants, including athletes from various sports (gymnastics, boat racing, swimming, soccer, judo, and baseball) and non-athletes, were included (142 men, 71 women, average age 21.5 ± 2.
