Postural Control and Age

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1993
We quantified the effect of vision, pressoreceptor function and proprioception on the postural stability at different ages. Altogether 212 healthy volunteers (ages from 6 to 90 years) were examined by using a computerised force platform. The sway velocity (SV) was measured with eyes open and eyes closed during quiet stance on a bare platform and a foam

Sensorimotor integration in human postural control.

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2002
It is generally accepted that human bipedal upright stance is achieved by feedback mechanisms that generate an appropriate corrective torque based on body-sway motion detected primarily by visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory systems.

The control of movement and posture

Brain Research, 1973
Abstract 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.

Vestibulospinal Control of Posture

2002
To 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, 2000
This 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 ...
