Dynamic Posturographic Testing and Motor Learning Predictability in Gymnasts

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Gymnastics Injury, Motor Learning, Balance

In brief

One aim of this study was to find if there was a difference between balance and stability between elite level gymnasts and non-gymnasts. Another aim was to find if there was a relationship between dynamic posturographic scores associated with sway fatigue or adaptability and the ability to learn new gymnastic routines. The ultimate aim of the study was to improve gymnastic performance while reducing the probability of injury.
