Abstract Summary
The purpose of this research study was to examine how people maintain static and dynamic postural control when performing volitional head movements. Fifteen healthy young adults participated; each was assigned to a Head Direction group: Yaw, Pitch, or Roll. Participants performed the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) and Head Shake-Sensory Organization Test (HS-SOT). Participants also walked over ground for 12 conditions. Participants who performed Pitch head movements showed decreased postural control during static standing and dynamic over ground walking conditions.
