Managing Gait, Balance, and Posture in Parkinson’s Disease
Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2018Postural instability and gait difficulties inexorably worsen with Parkinson's disease (PD) progression and become treatment resistant, with a severe impact on autonomy and quality of life. We review the main characteristics of balance instability, gait disabilities, and static postural alterations in advanced PD, and the available treatment strategies ...

A Posture Control Model and Balance Test for the Prediction of Relative Postural Stability
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1987A balance testing methodology has been developed based on a posture control model which defines relative stability by the degree to which a transient postural perturbation causes the center-of-pressure on the feet to approach the limits of the base-of-support.

Balance and Posture Control for Biped Robots
2012This work presents an overview of a new approach for balance and posture control by regulating simultaneously the center of mass position and trunk orientation of a biped robot. After an unknown external perturbation deviates the robot from a desired posture, the controller computes a wrench (force and torque) required to recover the desired position ...

A Postural Model of Balance-Correcting Movement Strategies
Journal of Vestibular Research, 1992The patterns of joint torques and movement strategies underlying human balance corrections were examined using a postural model. Two types of support-surface perturbation, dorsiflexion rotation (ROT) and rearward translation (TRANS), were employed.
