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.

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.

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.

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.

Posture and movement: coordination and control.
Archives italiennes de biologie, 1997Studies are reviewed that address the problem of the variables controlled in the maintenance of body posture and generation of limb movement. Vestibulospinal and neck reflexes cancel each other in response to roll, but not in response to pitch of the animal. In pitch trunk orientation is not effectively stabilized in space.

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 ...

Corpoconsciência, 2021
Con el envejecimiento, muchas disminuciones acompañan al individuo. Desde un punto de vista biológico, los cambios celulares provocan un declive general de la homeostasis celular, con el fin de generar una menor capacidad de respuesta a los estreses fisiológicos, dejando al individuo más susceptible a las alteraciones intrínsecas y extrínsecas ...
