Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar os mecanismos de controle do sistema de controle postural durante a manutenção da postura ereta em participantes de 4, 8 e 12 anos de idade e adultos nas condições com e sem visão. Quarenta e cinco participantes de 4, 8 e 12 anos e 15 adultos jovens permaneceram em pé dentro de uma sala constituída de três paredes, duas laterais e uma frontal, de dimensões 2,2 x 1,2 x 1,2 metros (altura, largura e comprimento). Cada participante se posicionou dentro da sala sobre uma plataforma de força (Kistler, modelo 9286A), com os pés afastados na largura do quadril e realizou 10 tentativas, sorteadas aleatoriamente, sendo 5 com e 5 sem visão com duração de 30 segundos cada uma. A plataforma de força forneceu os dados das forças aplicadas sobre ela, que foram utilizados para cálculo das trajetórias do centro de pressão (CP), perambulação e tremor. Para cada uma das trajetórias foram calculadas a amplitude média e a freqüência predominante de deslocamento para as direções ântero-posterior e médio-lateral. Os resultados revelaram que o deslocamento das trajetórias do CP, perambulação e tremor diminuíram com o aumento da idade para as duas direções. Assim, foi verificado que mesmo aos 12 anos de idade crianças não apresentam a mesma performance que os adultos durante a manutenção da postura ereta. Ainda, na condição sem visão, o deslocamento das três trajetórias aumentou para todos os grupos etários, no entanto, a freqüência de deslocamento das trajetórias foi a mesma para todos os grupos nas duas condições. O maior deslocamento da trajetória de perambulação sugere que mesmo crianças de 12 anos de idade ainda apresentam dificuldades em estimar a posição do corpo no espaço e utilizar essa estimativa para manter a orientação postural desejada. Por outro lado, a similaridade na magnitude de... .
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the functioning of the postural control system in maintaining the upright stance in 4, 8, and 12 year-old children and adults with and without vision. Forty five participants aging 4, 8, and 12 years and 15 adults stood upright inside a room constituted of three walls, two laterals and one frontal, with 2,2 x 1,2 x 1,2 metros (height, breadth and lengh). Each participants was positioned inside the room standing on a force platform (Kistler, model 9286A) with his/her feet parallel and aligned with hip width and performed 10 trials, randomly defined, 5 with and 5 without vision, lasting 30 seconds each. The force measured the applied forces, used to calculate the trajectories of center of pressure, rambling and trembling. For each trajectory, mean amplitude displacement and predominant frequency were calculated for both anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions. Results revealed that, the displacement of CP, rambling, and trembling trajectories decreased with age for both directions. Therefore, it was observed that even 12-year-old children did not show adults performance in maintaining the upright stance. In the vision condition, the displacement of CP, rambling, and trembling also increased for all groups, however, the frequency was the same for all groups in both conditions. The larger rambling trajectory displacement suggests that even 12-year-old children still show difficulties in estimating the body position and in using this estimation in order to maintain the desired postural orientation. On the other hand, the similar trembling trajectory displacement suggests that the amount of noise due to the muscular commands send to the muscular system in 12-year-old children is similar to the observed in adults. For 10-year-old and younger children, however, this noise is still larger... (Complete abstract, click electronic address below).
