Original Source: Short-term effects on postural control can be evidenced using a seesaw.
Postural control strategies are frequently assessed through posturography on a firm surface. Their motor efficiency is related to the coordination between center-of-gravity (CG) and center-of-pressure (CP) movements, which results from long-term training. However, when standing on a seesaw favoring pitching body motions, a new coordination, requiring short-term training, needs to be learned again. On this type of device, somesthetic cues from the ankle joints become invalid and motor command is amplified be...
