Abstract
Although postural stabilization has been considered an automatic controlled task, the recent studies based on the dual-task paradigm have suggested that there are significant attentional requirements for postural control [1]. Using the dual-task paradigm, a role of attention for postural stabilization is investigated under the condition of a concurrent additional cognitive activity.
There is the question whether postural stability can be affected by a level of subject's attention while performing a single balance task. Therefore the aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between a level of the balance and the different aspects of attention in prepubescent children.
