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 ...

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.

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 ...

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
