The control of movement and posture
Brain Research, 1973Abstract This report attempts to summarize material discussed at a recent conference on the control of movement and posture, held under the auspices of the Fogarty International Center at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., on March 27th and 28th, 1972.

Postural control is scaled to level of postural threat
Gait & Posture, 2000This study investigated control of posture when standing at different surface heights above ground level. Alterations in surface height were used to modify threat to postural control. Sixty-two healthy adults (mean+/-S.D.=20.3+/-1.3 years) stood quietly on a force plate 40 cm (LOW threat), 100 cm (MEDIUM threat) or 160 cm (HIGH threat) above ground ...

Visual and postural control of an arbitrary posture: The handstand
Journal of Sports Sciences, 2007The aim of this study was to increase our understanding of postural regulation by analysing an arbitrary posture - the handstand. We assessed the relative influence of peripheral vision and central visual anchoring on the postural balance of gymnasts in the inverted-stand posture.

Postural Control in Lyric Singers
Journal of Voice, 2022Singers are unique musicians because they use their whole body as a musical instrument. Posture and proprioception are key components for a robust and healthy voice.This study aimed to analyze the postural control of lyric singers in different sensorimotor conditions.Seventeen lyric singers were compared to a control group of 12 participants in static ...

Vestibulospinal Control of Posture
2002To better understand the role of the vestibular system in postural coordination, we compared the ability of subjects with complete, bilateral loss of vestibular function and age-matched control subjects to maintain equilibrium and postural orientation during sinusoidal displacements of the support surface at a variety of frequencies.

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
The postural control system has two main functions: first, to build up posture against gravity and ensure that balance is maintained; and second, to fix the orientation and position of the segments that serve as a reference frame for perception and action with respect to the external world.

Internal models in the control of posture
Neural Networks, 1999The aim of the paper is to investigate the application of control schemes based on "internal models" to the stabilization of the standing posture. The computational complexities of the control problems are analyzed, showing that muscle stiffness alone is insufficient to carry out the task.

BIOMECHANICS OF POSTURAL CONTROL
Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 1982There 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 control and adaptation are influenced by preceding postural challenges
Experimental Brain Research, 2010We investigated the possible consequences of two consecutive postural tasks on adaptation. Four groups (total number of 46 healthy subjects) were perturbed on two consecutive days with vibration stimulus to tibialis anterior or posterior calf muscles, or both in different orders. Postural movements were recorded with a force platform.
