Dynamic Postural Control After Exercise

February 25, 2013 updated by: Dr. med. Benita Kuni, MD, University Hospital Heidelberg

Influence of an Exercise on the Dynamic Postural Control in Athletes

The aim was to analyze the influence of fatigue on the dynamic postural control in one-leg standing and in jump landing, followed by stabilization or side jumps, and to compare athletes of different levels with control subjects.
