The relationship between a child's postural stability and manual dexterity [PDF]
The neural systems responsible for postural control are separate from the neural substrates that underpin control of the hand. Nonetheless, postural control and eye-hand coordination are linked functionally. For example, a stable platform is required for

Information decomposition of multichannel EMG to map functional interactions in the distributed motor system [PDF]
The central nervous system needs to coordinate multiple muscles during postural control. Functional coordination is established through the neural circuitry that interconnects different muscles.

Neurovisceral phenotypes in the expression of psychiatric symptoms [PDF]
This review explores the proposal that vulnerability to psychological symptoms, particularly anxiety, originates in constitutional differences in the control of bodily state, exemplified by a set of conditions that include Joint Hypermobility, Postural ...

Dual tasking under compromised visual and somatosensory input in elderly fallers and non-fallers [PDF]
Background: Performance of additional tasks disturbs postural control in elderly. It is unknown, however, how postural control is affected in elderly fallers and non-fallers in a reduced sensory situation.

Cortical control of postural responses [PDF]
This article reviews the evidence for cortical involvement in shaping postural responses evoked by external postural perturbations. Although responses to postural perturbations occur more quickly than the fastest voluntary movements, they have longer latencies than spinal stretch reflexes, suggesting greater potential for modification by the cortex ...

Balance Performance across the Lifespan Assessed by the Leonardo Mechanograph®: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Reference values of sway parameters have not been published for the Leonardo mechanograph® so far. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine normative values on postural control measured by the force plate Leonardo Mechanograph® and to ...

Age-related decrease in motor cortical inhibition during standing under different sensory conditions [PDF]
Background: Although recent studies point to the involvement of the primary motor cortex in postural control, it is unknown if age-related deterioration of postural control is associated with changes in motor cortical circuits.

Eye Movements Affect Postural Control in Young and Older Females [PDF]
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

Postural patterns in the first year of life: contributions of maternal physical activity in the pregnancy period [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The study objective was intended to verify whether the practice of maternal physical activity during the pregnancy period could be assumed as a contribution to the acquisition of postural patterns in the child during its first year of life ...
