Postural control in the elephant
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 ABSTRACT As the largest extant legged animals, elephants arguably face the most extreme challenge for stable standing. In this study, we investigated the displacement of the centre of pressure of 12 elephants during quiet standing. We found that the average amplitude of the oscillations in the lateral and fore–aft directions was less ...

Cortical control of postural responses [PDF]
Journal of Neural Transmission, 2007 This article reviews the evidence for cortical involvement in shaping postural responses evoked by external postural perturbations. Although responses to postural perturbations occur more quickly than the fastest voluntary movements, they have longer latencies than spinal stretch reflexes, suggesting greater potential for modification by the cortex ...

Dual tasking under compromised visual and somatosensory input in elderly fallers and non-fallers [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Performance of additional tasks disturbs postural control in elderly. It is unknown, however, how postural control is affected in elderly fallers and non-fallers in a reduced sensory situation.

Postural control in Parkinson's disease
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2014 Postural instability is one of the most disabling features of Parkinson's disease.To evaluate postural balance in Parkinson's disease.Thirty patients with Parkinson's disease were compared with controls using Tetrax™ interactive balance system posturography.For different positions, patients with Parkinson's disease showed a significantly higher weight ...

Postural patterns in the first year of life: contributions of maternal physical activity in the pregnancy period [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: The study objective was intended to verify whether the practice of maternal physical activity during the pregnancy period could be assumed as a contribution to the acquisition of postural patterns in the child during its first year of life ...

Neural Bases of Postural Control [PDF]
Physiology, 2006 The body posture during standing and walking is maintained due to the activity of a closed-loop control system. In the review, we consider different aspects of postural control: its functional organization, the distribution of postural functions in different parts of the central nervous system, and the activity of neuronal networks controlling posture.
