For this, higher cortical processes are essential. However, in the past research dedicated to the brain's involvement in balance control has predominantly used virtual reality paradigms whilst little is known about cortical activation during the challenging balancing on unstable surfaces (e.g. balance board). Hence, the main goal of this study was the simultaneous evaluation of cortical activation patterns and sway parameters during balancing on a balance board.Ten healthy adults were instructed to balance on a balance board while brain activation in supplementary motor area (SMA), precentral gyrus (PrG) and postcentral gyrus (PoG) was measured with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Additionally, sway parameters were simultaneously recorded with one inertial sensor.Enhanced activation of SMA, PrG and PoG was observed when balancing was compared with still standing. Furthermore, the sway of pelvis (indicated by root mean square) increased in medio-lateral (ML) and anterior-posterior (AP) direction during the balance condition. Notably, a strong negative correlation was found between SMA activation and sway in ML direction during balancing, which was not observed during standing.Our results underline the important role of sensorimotor cortical areas for balance control. Moreover, the observed correlations suggest a crucial involvement of SMA in online control of sway in ML direction. Further research is needed to understand the contribution of other cortical and subcortcial areas to online balance control. 344 - Clinical and Health Care Research (POF3-344) G:(DE-HGF)POF3-344 POF3-344 POF III 0 2017-01-01 Crossref https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/ Dataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, Hemoglobins NLM Chemicals Oxyhemoglobins NLM Chemicals deoxyhemoglobin 9008-02-0 NLM Chemicals Adult MeSH Biomechanical Phenomena: physiology MeSH Brain Mapping MeSH Cerebral Cortex: physiology MeSH Female MeSH Hemoglobins: metabolism MeSH Humans MeSH Male MeSH Middle Aged MeSH Oxyhemoglobins: metabolism MeSH Postural Balance: physiology MeSH Spectroscopy, Near-Infrared MeSH Young Adult MeSH Orlowski, Katja 1 Börmel, Sabrina P:(DE-2719)2811622 2 dzne Müller, Notger G P:(DE-2719)2191623 3 Last author dzne 10.1016/j.humov.2016.11.002 : Elsevier BV, 2017-01-01 51-58 journal-article Crossref Human Movement Science 51 2017 0167-9457 10.1016/j.humov.2016.11.002 Vol. 51, p. 51 - 58 PERI:(DE-600)1500475-2 51<51 - 58 51-58 Human movement science 51 2017 0167-9457 http://pub.dzne.de/record/139025/files/DZNE-2020-05347_Restricted.pdf http://pub.dzne.de/record/139025/files/DZNE-2020-05347_Restricted.pdf?subformat=pdfa pdfa VDB oai:pub.dzne.de:139025 Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen I:(DE-588)1065079516 DZNE 2 P:(DE-2719)2811622 Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen I:(DE-588)1065079516 DZNE 3 P:(DE-2719)2191623 DE-HGF Gesundheit Erkrankungen des Nervensystems G:(DE-HGF)POF3-340 G:(DE-HGF)POF3-344 G:(DE-HGF)POF3 G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300 G:(DE-HGF)POF Clinical and Health Care Research 0 2017 Nationallizenz StatID:(DE-HGF)0420 StatID 2023-03-30 ger JCR StatID:(DE-HGF)0100 StatID HUM MOVEMENT SCI : 2021 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)0200 StatID SCOPUS 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)0300 StatID Medline 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)0600 StatID Ebsco Academic Search 2023-03-30 Peer Review StatID:(DE-HGF)0030 StatID ASC 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)0199 StatID Clarivate Analytics Master Journal List 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)1180 StatID Current Contents - Social and Behavioral Sciences 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)0150 StatID Web of Science Core Collection 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)1050 StatID BIOSIS Previews 2023-03-30 DBCoverage StatID:(DE-HGF)0130 StatID Social Sciences Citation Index 2023-03-30 IF < 5 StatID:(DE-HGF)9900 StatID 2023-03-30 I:(DE-2719)1310003 AG Müller Neuroprotection 0 journal VDB I:(DE-2719)1310003 UNRESTRICTED
