Quiet Stance Postural Control in Women Who Have a History of Brain Injury from Intimate Partner Violence: A Preliminary Study by Bradi R. Lorenz, Shambhu P. Adhikari, Jonathan D. Smirl, Colin Wallace, Quinn Malone, Brian H. Dalton, Paul van Donkelaar

“…When participants were stratified into those with a low (0–2) and high (6–8) BISA score, participants in the high BISA (6–8) group exhibited greater COP area, ML COP amplitude and variability than those in the low BISA group (0–2; p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that, independent of BISA score, PTSD symptoms contributed to changes in balance variables during the EO condition (p < 0.05). …”
