Berg Balance Scale
The Berg Balance Scale (or BBS) is a widely used clinical test of a person's static and dynamic balance abilities, named after Katherine Berg, one of the developers.

Biomechanics
Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, using the methods of mechanics.

Center of mass
In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero, or the point where if a force is applied it moves in the direction of the force without rotating.

Center of pressure (terrestrial locomotion)
In biomechanics, center of pressure (CoP) is the term given to the point of application of the ground reaction force vector.

Drug
A drug is any substance (other than food that provides nutritional support) that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a temporary physiological (and often psychological) change in the body.

Falling (accident)
Falling is the second leading cause of accidental death worldwide and is a major cause of personal injury, especially for the elderly.

Gait
Gait is the pattern of movement of the limbs of animals, including humans, during locomotion over a solid substrate.

Old age
Old age refers to ages nearing or surpassing the life expectancy of human beings, and is thus the end of the human life cycle.

Otitis
Otitis is a general term for inflammation or infection of the ear, in both humans and other animals.

Physical therapy
Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using mechanical force and movements (bio-mechanics or kinesiology), manual therapy, exercise therapy, and electrotherapy, remediates impairments and promotes mobility and function.

Posturography
Posturography is a general term that covers all the techniques used to quantify postural control in upright stance in either static or dynamic conditions.
New!!: Balance (ability) and Posturography · See more »
Proprioception
Proprioception, from Latin proprius, meaning "one's own", "individual", and capio, capere, to take or grasp, is the sense of the relative position of one's own parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement.

Romberg's test
Romberg's test, Romberg's sign, or the Romberg maneuver is a test used in an exam of neurological function for balance, and also as a test for driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

Sense
A sense is a physiological capacity of organisms that provides data for perception.

Sense of balance
The sense of balance or equilibrioception is one of the physiological senses related to balance.

Somatosensory system
The somatosensory system is a part of the sensory nervous system.

Spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that causes temporary or permanent changes in its function.

Sprained ankle
A sprained ankle, also known as a twisted ankle or rolled ankle, is a common injury where sprain occurs on one or more ligaments of the ankle.

Stroke
A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death.

Stroke recovery
The primary goals of stroke management are to reduce brain injury and promote maximum patient recovery.

Vestibular system
The vestibular system, in most mammals, is the sensory system that provides the leading contribution to the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance. Together with the cochlea, a part of the auditory system, it constitutes the labyrinth of the inner ear in most mammals.

Visual system
The visual system is the part of the central nervous system which gives organisms the ability to process visual detail, as well as enabling the formation of several non-image photo response functions.
