21,22) Constraints on the limits of stability (that is, how far the body's center of mass can be moved over its base of support) and on verticality (that is, representation of gravitational upright), affected by sensory deficits or by stroke in the parietal cortex, may result in inflexible postural alignment or precarious body tilt.

The Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) to differentiate ...

In order to measure instability using kinetic and kinematic data, researchers have employed several methods such as static and dynamic posturography (13, 31), changes in gait parameters (22, 30), and limits of stability (10, 20).

Predicting fall risk with plantar pressure equipment in individuals ...

One new piece of laboratory equipment for evaluating balance is the Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical Systems; Shirley, New York), which can be used for measuring body sway (balance index) and determining limits of stability (LOS) [16-17].

Balance problems after unilateral lateral ankle sprains

Limits of stability in the forward direction (FFR) and to the right side (RFR) improved over time.

Long-term locomotor training for gait and balance in a patient with ...

1) The measure of their forward limits of stability does not predict falling.

Testing functional performance in people with Parkinson disease

The positioning of the targets was set relative to the theoretical limits of stability (LOS), which is based on the assumption that individuals could shift their CoG 6.

Use of Visual Feedback in Retraining Balance Following Acute Stroke

With a larger base of support (eg, during standing with feet apart), the medial and lateral limits of stability extend from the outer edge of one foot to the outer edge of the other foot.

Relationship between standing posture and stability

The limits of stability are the maximal distance an individual can lean in any direction without loss of balance; these limits describe a cone projecting about the feet with maximal displacement equal to 8 degrees anteriorly, 4 degrees posteriorly, and 8 degrees laterally to either side.
