Disorders of postural stability represent a globally significant increase expenses in health care. Postural and respiratory systems have much in common, and often their functions are connected very closely.
Physiotherapists deal every day with patients with poor breathing stereotype and deviations from correct posture. Also they use balance platforms for postural stability training.
It is known that breathing movements directly affect posture and postural stability and according to Vale and Strnad [2014] breathing can be adjusted according to postural tasks. The subject of our research is to define the compromise between ventilation and postural stability affecting the respiratory parameters.
