Dynamic Postural Stability in Patients with Neurological Disorders

Dynamic postural stability is a complex multifactorial system in which motor, sensory, and cognitive components interact. This information is integrated by the central nervous system in a continuous sensory reweighting that ensures postural control in both static and dynamic conditions. This chapter analyzes the state of the art of instrumented assessment of dynamic stability in the main neurological pathologies such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, cerebellar ataxia, and cerebral palsy. Finally, the translational implications in the field of neurorehabilitation and future perspectives are discussed.
