Nonlinear measures in posturography compared to linear measures based on yoga poses performance

15--21

Yoga is known as a type of exercise that combines physical, mental and spiritual aspects. There has not been much research on the postural control in various yoga poses. The aim of this study was to examine CoP regularity in both yoga instructors and novices during the performance of four yoga poses, and to verify the sensitivity of linear and nonlinear methods for assessing postural stability. Methods: The dynamic characteristics of CoP fluctuations were examined using linear and nonlinear methods on a group of 22 yoga instructors (Y) and 18 age-matched non-practitioners of yoga (NY). The study involved maintaining a balance for 20 seconds while performing four yoga poses. Results: Conventional analysis of CoP trajectories showed that NY and Y exhibited similar control of postural sway, as indicated by similar CoP path-length and area values observed in both groups. These results suggest that the special balance yoga training received by Y may not have an impact on less challenging balance conditions, such as the poses used in this experiment. Interestingly, nonlinear dynamical analysis of CoP showed that Y exhibited less CoP regularity and more complex signal than NY, as evidenced by higher values of sample entropy and fractal dimension. Conclusions: The results shed light on the surplus values of CoP trajectories in the nonlinear dynamical analysis to gain further insight into the mechanisms involved in posture control.

Celem pracy jest określenie wpływu różnych ustawień ortezy typu Walker na zmianę kątów w stawach kończyn dolnych podczas chodu. W badaniach wzięło udział 10 zdrowych osób. Do badań czterech rodzajów chodu -jeden bez ortezy i trzy w różnych ustawieniach ortezy wykorzystano system Vicon. Udowodniono, że sposób ustawienia ortezy ma istotny wpływ na zmianę kątów w stawie kolanowym i biodrowym kończyny dolnej, na której jest noszona orteza. Bardzo korzystny jest brak wpływu ortezy na kinematykę kończyny wolnej od ortezy.

The aim of the work is to determine the effect of various settings of Walker type orthosis on lower limb kinematics parameters during walking. 10 healthy people participated in the study. The Vicon system was used to test four types of the gait - one without an orthosis and three in different orthosis settings. It has been proven that the way the orthosis is positioned has a significant impact on changing the angles in the knee and hip joints of the lower limb, on which the orthosis is worn. The absence of the orthotic effect on the kinematics of the limb free from orthosis is very beneficial.
