Balance impairments are common in cerebral palsy. When balance is perturbed by backward support surface translations, children with cerebral palsy have increased co-activation of the plantar flexors and tibialis anterior muscle as compared to typical

Abstract Background Novel balance-targeting exergames controlled with off-the-shelf hardware, were developed based on current recommendations for balance training in healthy older adults and documented shortcomings of existing games. The aim of this

Objective: Muscle weakness is an important risk factor for falls in older adults. Intensity and duration of muscle activity are important determinants of exercise effectiveness in combating muscle weakness. The aim of this article was to assess the i
