Hi

 

Does anyone know of any powerpoint slides that are public resource or do you have some of your own (if you are happy to share) regarding balance and postural stability?  I have done some web searching but have not really found anything that suits my requirements.

 

This is required for a Masters paper taken by strength and conditioning (primarily) students that focuses on training and assessment.

 

While I have some resources, i am looking for resources fro some of the following areas. 

 

1. Role of somatosensory, vestibular and visual systems

2. Dynamic vs static balance and assessment

3. Clinical- vs lab-based balance assessment: pros and cons, reliability and validity

4. Relative effectiveness of different training approaches (wobble-board, jumping and landing, strength training etc)

 

Thanks

 

Justin
