Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 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 at the human wrist [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2008 In our movements and posture, we always act against a physical load. A key property of any load is its elastic stiffness (K), which describes how the force required to hold it must change with position. Here we examine how load stiffness affects the ability to maintain a stable posture at the wrist.

Interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with vestibular disorder and healthy controls [PDF]
, 2001 Objectives: To determine whether interference between postural control and mental task performance in patients with balance system impairment and healthy subjects is due to general capacity limitations, motor control interference, competition for spatial

Mobility as the Purpose of Postural Control [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2017 Abstract 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 for movement.

Voluntarily controlled but not merely observed visual feedback affects postural sway [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Online stabilization of human standing posture utilizes multisensory afferences (e.g., vision). Whereas visual feedback of spontaneous postural sway can stabilize postural control especially when observers concentrate on their body and intend to minimize

The effects of anxiety and external attentional focus on postural control in patients with Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Although anxiety is a common non-motor outcome of Parkinson's disease (PD) affecting 40% of patients, little attention has been paid so far to its effects on balance impairment and postural control. Improvement of postural control through focusing on the

Upper limb related factors in determining postural control
Kinesiologia Slovenica, 2021 Postural control is an outcome of complex interactions between many systems and structures to control body position in space. Appropriate postural control is necessary for the initiation and continuation of movements in different body parts, such as the ...
