Results showed that changes in visual and or somatosensory flow did not influence on the anticipatory postural adjustments. The maximal foreword position of the center of pressure is on the other hand affected by the sensory conditions. With additional light touch from the hand the centre of pressure moves significantly foreword compared to no touch conditions. Except in the eyes closed conditions the utility of light touch was insufficient.

Movement of centre of pressure were analysed on a 1 m high surface. Subjects performed reaching movement first without touching the vertical board, than with lightly sliding with hypothener eminence on the touch sensitive plate. Additional light touch enabled subjects to bring their centre of pressure and their hand more anterior, thus using more of their supporting surface, however the light touch had no influence on the anticipatory postural adjustments.

Young subjects carried load (12, 21 and 30 kg) in two different carrying positions: backpack and waist jacket. In the backpack group all analysed sway parameters linearly significantly (p < 0.001) increased with additional load. However no significant change of the analysed parameters was found when the subjects carried additional load in the waist jacket. Carrying weight in a backpack increases where as carrying weight in a waist jacket does not influence the amount of postural sway thus position of the load is of significant importance.

Influence of hip stress on coxarthrosis development. Published in the journal #1 in the field of orthopaedics.On the population of subjects with total hip replacement we have studied the ethiology of coxarthrosis development. We found that high contact hip stress accelerates coxarthrosis development. Overweight and lifting of heavy objects additionally contributes to high hip stress and are unfavourable. Long lasting high hip stress is a risk factor for coxarthrosis development.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injury rate is greater among female athletes than among male athletes. The objective of the study was to investigate the rate and risk of ACL injury among Slovenian sportswomen playing professional basketball, team handball, or volleyball. This was a prospective cohort study. We prospectively followed 585 sportswomen. Basketball players were at greatest risk and volleyball players at lowest risk. No differences in injury rate were noted among athletes in the 3 sports or among athletes in different divisions of the same sport.
