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

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 ...

POSTURAL CONTROL IN THE ELDERLY
Nippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1992 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
Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 1982 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.

Control of posture with FES systems [PDF]
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2002 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
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 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 ...

Assessment of Postural Control and Proprioception Using the Delos Postural Proprioceptive System
Reabilitacijos Mokslai: Slauga, Kineziterapija, Ergoterapija, 2023 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 ...
