The common denominator in the assessment of human balance and posture is the inverted
pendulum model. If we focus on appropriate versions of the model we can use it to identify …

This is a proposal of the Movement Disorder Society for a clinical classification of tremors.
The classification is based on the distinction between rest, postural, simple kinetic, and …

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 …

Stiffness control of balance in quiet standing. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 1211–1221, 1998. Our …

A new conceptual and theoretical framework for studying the human postural control system
is introduced. Mathematical techniques from statistical mechanics are developed and …

1. Control of posture in quiet stance has been quantified by center of pressure (COP)
changes in the anterior-posterior (A/P) and medial-lateral (M/L) directions from a single force …

With disease-modifying drugs on the horizon for degenerative ataxias, ecologically valid,
finely granulated, digital health measures are highly warranted to augment clinical and …

Upright stance in humans is inherently unstable, requiring corrective action based on spatial-
orientation information from sensory systems. One might logically predict that environments …

Postural instability and falls are common and devastating features of ageing and many
neurological, visual, vestibular or orthopedic disorders. Current management of these …

The cerebellum is important for movement control and plays a particularly crucial role in
balance and locomotion. As such, one of the most characteristic signs of cerebellar damage …
