Functional Neuroanatomy for Posture and Gait Control
Journal of Movement Disorders, 2017 Here we argue functional neuroanatomy for posture-gait control. Multi-sensory information such as somatosensory, visual and vestibular sensation act on various areas of the brain so that adaptable posture-gait control can be achieved.
