Monitoring the effect of short-term application of selected sleep hygiene rules on postural stability

Title: Monitoring the effect of short-term application of selected sleep hygiene rules on postural stability Aims: The aim of this work was to monitor the influence of short-term application of selected sleep hygiene rules on postural stability using a Computerized Dynamic Posturography NeuroCom Smart EquiTest machine in healthy young individuals. Methods: This work is characterized as an experimental pilot study. The research set consists of 20 individuals (n=20). The set was then divided into an experimental group (n1=10) and a control group (n2=10). The probands were approached based on previously defined criteria (healthy young adults, higher education and university students between 20 and 30 years of age, the average age in the experimental group (n1=10) was 24,74 2,56 years, the average age in the control group (n2=10) was 25,39 2,97 years,). The method of proband choice was non-probabilistic selection the snowball method. The measurements were performed at the Laboratory of Applied Kinesiology of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. A Computerized Dynamic Posturography NeuroCom Smart EquiTest machine was used to assess and evaluate the postural stability. The testing protocol included the following tests: Sensory Organisation Test, Motor Control Test, Limits..
