From ancient Greece to nowadays, research on posture control was guided and shaped by many concepts. Equilibrium control is often considered part of postural control. However, two different levels have become increasingly apparent in the postural control

POSTURAL CONTROL IN THE ELDERLY
In order to investigate postural control in the elderly, a stabilometric investigation including fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis was conducted in three different age groups. The oldest group was composed of 16 subjects who ranged in age from 75 to 86 years: another group consisted of eight 65 to 74 year olds; the control group was composed of 21 ...

BIOMECHANICS OF POSTURAL CONTROL
There are no separate mechanisms for posture and movement. Postural reactions are fundamental in neural organization, and movement in its most elementary form is seen as a modification of posture.D.

Postural threat increases sample entropy of postural control
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 ...

Control of posture with FES systems [PDF]
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 ...

Postural control in the elephant
ABSTRACT As the largest extant legged animals, elephants arguably face the most extreme challenge for stable standing. In this study, we investigated the displacement of the centre of pressure of 12 elephants during quiet standing. We found that the average amplitude of the oscillations in the lateral and fore–aft directions was less ...

Cortical and Cerebellar Oscillatory Responses to Postural Instability in Parkinson's Disease
Introduction: Posture and balance dysfunctions critically impair activities of daily living of patients with progressing Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the neural mechanisms underlying postural instability in PD are poorly understood, and specific ...

Assessment of Postural Control and Proprioception Using the Delos Postural Proprioceptive System
Background. Proper postural control and proprioception are essential for maintaining balance, preventing falls, and performing daily activities. Traditional methods of assessing postural control and proprioceptive function often lack objectivity and ...
