Balance prostheses for postural control
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 2003There is a clear need for a prosthesis that improves postural stability in the balance impaired. Such a device would be used as a temporary aid during recovery from ablative inner-ear surgery and as a permanent prosthesis for those elderly prone to falls.

While my interest in the functional organization of the nervous system for the control of posture and movement sprang from the study of its diseases in neurological patients, my experiments and those of my numerous collaborators were performed just on cats and monkeys.

Postural control of the human mandible
Archives of Oral Biology, 2007This article reviews recent experimental evidence explaining the mechanisms that support the mandible in its rest or postural position when the head is stationary and during locomotion. At rest, and during slow jaw movements, there is alternating activation of the jaw-opening and jaw-closing muscles which arises from a central pattern generator ...

Postural Control and Development
1986Historically, the development of motor coordination in children has been viewed from the perspective of the acquisition and refinement of voluntary motor skills. Though the development of postural skills is mentioned briefly in many motor development texts, its description is largely confined to the first year of life in which the child learns to ...
