Background: Integration of visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensations contributes to postural control. People with peripheral visual field loss have serious postural instability. However, the directional specificity of postural stability and sensory reweighting caused by gradual peripheral visual field loss remain unclear.

This study included 72 healthy children aged 3-10 years and 14 young adults. The child population was divided into four groups by age: 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10 years.

- The study aimed to find the best biomechanical technique for suctioning phlegm using a new simulator and motion capture system.
- They compared the performance of 12 experienced nurses and 12 nursing students to measure how much phlegm was suctioned and analyze the hand movements involved.
- Results showed experienced nurses suctioned more phlegm per second, suggesting that better wrist motion and thumb rotation enhance suctioning efficiency, potentially making deep suctioning unnecessary and safer.
