Postural Stability: Decoding the Science of Body Sway
Introduction and Core Definition of the Stabilimeter The stabilimeter is an indispensable psychophysiological instrument specifically engineered to quantify and analyze postural stability in humans. Its primary function is the precise measurement of spontaneous body movements, commonly referred to as body sway, which occurs when an individual maintains an upright stance. This measurement is crucial because […]
LANDAU REFLEX
Landau Reflex: A Review of Research and Clinical Implications Abstract and Definition The Landau reflex, sometimes referenced interchangeably as the Landau reaction or the Landau-Kleffner reflex, represents a critical postural reflex observed in typically developing infants and young children. This reaction is reliably evoked when the child is held horizontally in a prone (face down) […]
