Control of posture with FES systems [PDF]
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2003 One of the major obstacles in restoration of functional FES supported standing in paraplegia is the lack of knowledge of a suitable control strategy. The main issue is how to integrate the purposeful actions of the non-paralysed upper body when interacting with the environment while standing, and the actions of the artificial FES control system ...

Mobility as the Purpose of Postural Control [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2017 Counteracting the destabilizing force of gravity is usually considered to be the main purpose of postural control. However, from the consideration of the mechanical requirements for movement, we argue that posture is adjusted in view of providing impetus

New Insights on Emotional Contributions to Human Postural Control
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 It has been just over 20 years since the effects of height-induced threat on human postural control were first investigated. Raising the height of the support surface on which individuals stood increased the perceived consequences of instability and ...

Postural threat increases sample entropy of postural control
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 IntroductionPostural threat elicits modifications to standing balance. However, the underlying neural mechanism(s) responsible remain unclear. Shifts in attention focus including directing more attention to balance when threatened may contribute to the balance changes.

Eye Movements Affect Postural Control in Young and Older Females [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2016 Visual information is used for postural stabilization in humans. However, little is known about how eye movements prevalent in everyday life interact with the postural control system in older individuals. Therefore, the present study assessed the effects
