Normal posture depends upon the integrated activity of many different regions of the brain. Certain postures are assumed in repose; others are exhibited before any coordinated movement is carried out. The essential elements for most postural activities are present in the spinal cord.

Postural control in healthy individuals
Clinical Biomechanics, 2010The aim of rehabilitation is to optimize functional recovery and frequently following injury, the uninjured limb is used as measure to compare with the injured limb. This assumes that symmetry existed prior to the injury. The aim of this study was to examine postural control in a healthy sample to ascertain if differences exist between the functionally

Postural control during lifting
Journal of Biomechanics, 2002Any voluntary motion of the body causes an internal perturbation of balance. Load transfer during manual material handling may increase these perturbations. This study investigates effects of stance condition on postural control during lifting. Nineteen healthy subjects repeatedly lifted and lowered a load between a desk and a shelf.

Adaptation of postural control to weightlessness
Experimental Brain Research, 1984Adaptation of motor control to weightlessness was studied during a 7-day spaceflight. The maintenance of control of upright posture was examined during a voluntary raising movement of the arm and during the voluntary raising on tiptoe. In order to evaluate the contribution of visual cues, three types of visual situations were examined: normal vision ...

On the cognitive penetrability of posture control
Experimental Aging Research, 1993Postural sway increases with age. The decreased stability associated with postural sway often has been related to the reduced peripheral sensibility in the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. We examined whether the micropostural adjustments necessary for maintaining balance also require some cognitive processing.

The visual, vestibular and muscle proprioceptive systems have all been shown to contribute to sway stabilization. Nevertheless, an additional receptor system is needed to signal the position of the body’s centre of gravity relative to the feet. This receptor system should be “gravity” dependent.

Afferent Control of Posture and Gait
Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1985Investigations of the complex movements involved in human posture and gait have been restricted to the description of the efferent arm of the movement, in the form of biomechanical data and muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity. The extent to which the latter, while being generated by a central program, was also influenced by spinal reflex systems ...

Effects of Loratadine on Postural Control
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1995The effects of classical sedating antihistamines on cognitive and perceptual functions are well known. Loratadine is a new antihistamine without sedative effects. In this study, loratadine 10 and 40 mg daily, clemastine 2 mg twice daily and placebo were evaluated in 8 healthy subjects in terms of effects on equilibrium as measured with dynamic ...

While the phenomenon of balance (hereafter referred to as postural control) may seem inherently rudimentary to the casual observer, postural control is a complex and plural construct. Individuals with visual impairments (VIs) have historically presented with inferior postural control performance when compared to peers without VIs.

The Control of Posture and Locomotion
1973In this paper we have attempted to concentrate not so much on the apparent differences between standing and walking but rather on the common mechanisms shared by both actions. The analysis of the natural movements shows that during these two actions there is not only a successive change of postural and motor stabilisation modes but also a simultaneous ...
