Brain and muscle activation patterns during postural control affect static postural control
Gait & Posture, 2022Previous studies have reported existence of coordinated brain and muscle activity patterns that affect postural control. However, differences in these activity patterns that affect postural control are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify brain and muscle activity pattern affecting postural control.Does the difference in brain and ...

Posture control after prolonged exercise
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 1997The perturbations of equilibrium after prolonged exercise were investigated by dynamic posturography on nine well-trained subjects (four athletes and five triathletes). A sensory organization test, where the platform and visual surround were either stable or referenced to the subject's sway with eyes open or closed, was performed before and after a 25 ...

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 in Elderly Subjects
Age and Ageing, 1990The postural stability of 23 subjects aged 85 years or over was studied with a force platform. The sensory function of the lower limbs was disturbed with small vibrators placed on both calf muscles and/or by placing the subjects on a platform covered with foam plastic.

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.

Postural control in otolith disorders
Human Movement Science, 2005It was the aim of the present paper to investigate the influence of otolith disorders on human postural control by different methods. The 33 patients of our study had undergone a minor head injury and suffered subsequently from an utricular or sacculo-utricular disorder as evidenced by vestibular evoked myogenic potential recordings and eccentric ...

Comparative neurobiology of postural control
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2002In recent years, studies of nervous mechanisms for the control of body posture have been performed on animal models of different complexity - cat, rabbit, lamprey and the mollusc Clione. These studies have greatly expanded our knowledge of how the control system operates, how the system can change the stabilized body orientation and how the postural ...

Anticipatory Postural Control in Children
Journal of Motor Behavior, 1990Postural responses, triggered by sensory feedback, are present very early in a child's development. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the ability of children to anticipate postural disturbances caused by self-initiated movements and their ability to coordinate anticipatory postural adjustments with movement execution. Children (N = 32)

Biologically-inspired humanoid postural control
Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2009This article presents a biologically-inspired framework for humanoid postural control. It complies with the main features of human postural control that are extracted from recent studies. In this article, the human body is abstracted as a single-inverted pendulum jointed with a foot that rests freely on a supporting surface. In particular, disturbances

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.
