The basic level of postural control is functionally active from early infancy onwards: young
infants possess a repertoire of direction-specific postural adjustments. Whether or not …

Understanding postural control requires considering various mechanisms underlying a
person's ability to stand, to walk, and to interact with the environment safely and efficiently …

Current lower-limb prostheses do not provide active assistance in postural control tasks to
maintain the user's balance, particularly in situations of perturbation. In this study, we aimed …

Anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments are the two principal
mechanisms that the central nervous system uses to maintain equilibrium while standing …

We explored relations between visual performance and postural control. Variability in
postural sway was analyzed in the context of variations in supra-postural visual tasks. We …

The aim of the study was to investigate the differences in anticipatory postural adjustments
(APAs) between young and older adults and its effect on subsequent control of posture. Ten …

The authors studied relations between postural sway, optical flow, and constraints on
posture imposed by a suprapostural looking task. Optical flow resulted from unperturbed …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether hippotherapy has an effect on
the general functional development of children with cerebral palsy. Methods: The study …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate anticipatory postural adjustments
(APAs) in standing subjects who performed a standard motor action triggering a standard …

We attempted to distinguish between task-related (supra-postural) and perceptual
influences on postural motions. Two groups of participants had to make very light tactile …
