The maintenance of a given body orientation is obtained by the complex relation between sensory information and muscle activity. Therefore, this study purpose was to review the role of visual, somatosensory, vestibular and auditory information in the maintenance and control of the posture. Method. a search by papers for the last 24 years was done in the PubMed and CAPES databases. The following keywords were used: postural control, sensory information, vestibular system, visual system, somatosensory system, auditory system and haptic system. Results. the influence of each sensory system and its integration were analyzed for the maintenance and control of the posture. Conclusion. the literature showed that there is information redundancy provided by sensory channels. Thus, the central nervous system chooses the main source for the posture control.

Purpose: To report the surgical technique and outcomes of a no-ring approach to posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children and young adults with subluxation of the crystalline lens. Methods: A three-piece 5.5-mm hydrophobic acrylic IOL was implanted in which the optic and one haptic were inside the capsular bag and the other haptic was in the ciliary sulcus. The implantations were done in 13 eyes of 10 patients with lens subluxation. One haptic was fixated in the ciliary sulcus by passing it through an operculum-shaped opening in the capsular bag edge, made between 2 and 3 clock hours, clockwise from the middle point of the subluxated area. Results: The mean age of the 10 patients was 12.61 ± 8.04 years and the mean follow-up was 21.38 ± 11.29 months. The mean preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.15 ± 0.58 and 0.37 ± 0.17 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, respectively, in 11 measured eyes. The postoperative BCVA was 20/40 or better in 4 eyes (36.36%), between 20/40 and 20/60 in 6 eyes (54.54%), and between 20/80 and 20/100 in 1 eye (9.09%). The BCVA improved in all eyes. Postoperative IOL decentration between 1.0 and 1.5 mm occurred in 3 of 13 eyes (23.08%). Conclusion: The results indicate that the no-ring technique allows centration of an IOL implanted into a subluxated capsular bag without using capsule tension rings. © SLACK Incorporated.

Haptic information, provided by a non-rigid tool (i.e., an anchor system), can reduce body sway in individuals who perform a standing postural task. However, it was not known whether or not continuous use of the anchor system would improve postural control after its removal. Additionally, it was unclear as to whether or not frequency of use of the anchor system is related to improved control in older adults. The present study evaluated the effect of the prolonged use of the anchor system on postural control in healthy older individuals, at different frequencies of use, while they performed a postural control task (semi-tandem position). Participants were divided into three groups according to the frequency of the anchor system's use (0%, 50%, and 100%). Pre-practice phase (without anchor) was followed by a practice phase (they used the anchor system at the predefined frequency), and a post-practice phase (immediate and late-without anchor). All three groups showed a persistent effect 15. min after the end of the practice phase (immediate post-practice phase). However, only the 50% group showed a persistent effect in the late post-practice phase (24. h after finishing the practice phase). Older adults can improve their postural control by practicing the standing postural task, and use of the anchor system limited to half of their practice time can provide additional improvement in their postural control. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how walking a dog on a leash influenced haptic perception and stability during human locomotion. Fourteen adults, with and without sight restriction, walked on a narrow balance beam by themselves, or holding a leash attached to a dog that walked on a parallel narrow bench. The performance of participants who walked with the dog, but blindfolded, significantly (p < 0.05) improved as compared to the condition without the dog. Their locomotion performance was assessed via the duration of the total displacement on the balance beam, durations of the double support phase, swing phase, stepping cycle, stepping length, and linear velocity, as well as variability of the inter-limb relative phase. With vision, these parameters were not affected by the presence of the dog. We conclude that these adults were able to use the dog's leash to detect haptic properties in order to achieve postural control (e.g., stability in speed performance) while walking.

Nesta pesquisa toma-se o livro didático de português como objeto de pesquisa em vista de uma indagação norteadora: O que faz de um livro, um livro didático? Essa pergunta, que a princípio nos causou uma impressão de obviedade, pela opacidade de aspectos singulares à constituição do material, acabou por nos revelar que o livro didático é um objeto multifacetado e complexo, que se situa num campo recente da pesquisa acadêmica. Dentre tantas possibilidades de situar o livro didático no contexto das inquietações humanas, duas se apresentam nesta pesquisa como possibilidade de pensá-lo a partir de um campo próprio de investigação: (i) a que parte da compreensão do livro didático enquanto objeto portador de uma materialidade e uma visualidade, onde elementos como tipografia, espaços de diagramação, uso de cores, escolha de imagens, entre tantos outros, participam do processo de leitura tanto quanto o texto verbal linguisticamente constituído, e (ii) a que toma o livro como objeto portador de uma materialidade textual-discursiva na qual ele responde a muitos lugares e interesses, muitas vezes contraditórios, na tentativa de satisfazer algumas expectativas que ele representa. Neste sentido, podemos pensar que a fabricação do material visa em princípio a um projeto didático – em razão do qual se criam representações de leitura – como também fazer dele importante produto de um mercado promissor e rentável. Essa constatação nos faz pensar no livro como um objeto, atualmente, muito mais de consumo/distribuição do que material de apoio do ensino e da aprendizagem da língua portuguesa. A pesquisa caminha sobre o “chão” da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa, baseando-se nas ideias de autores como Pêcheux, Maingueneau, Possenti, Authier-Revuz; da história da leitura e do livro, com base em Chartier, Fairchild, Choppin, Freitag et al; Oliveira et al entre outros. O corpus da pesquisa constitui-se de uma coleção de livros didáticos de português (séries finais do Ensino Fundamental) que foi a mais escolhida no último PNLD/2011 pelas escolas urbanas do município de Cametá/Pará; caderno de campo com relato de experiências e questionário de perguntas abertas sobre o processo de escolha do livro didático de portuguesa naquelas escolas.
