Since the mid-2000s, perturbation-based balance training has been gaining interest as an
efficient and effective way to prevent falls in older adults. It has been suggested that this task …

Although it is widely recognized that adaptive behavior emerges from the ongoing
interactions among the nervous system, the body, and the environment, it has only become …

Maintaining balance throughout daily activities is challenging because of the unstable
nature of the human body. For instance, a person's delayed reaction times limit their ability to …

We investigated muscle activity, ground reaction forces, and center of mass (CoM)
acceleration in two different postural behaviors for standing balance control in humans to …

Balance control must be rapidly modified to provide stability in the face of environmental
challenges. Although changes in reactive balance over repeated perturbations have been …

We implemented a virtual reality system to quantify differences in the use of visual feedback
to maintain balance during walking between healthy young (n= 12, mean age: 24 years) and …

The derivative of force with respect to time does not have a standard term in physics. As a
consequence, the quantity has been given a variety of names, the most closely related being …

Postural stability depends on interactions between the musculoskeletal system and neural
control mechanisms. We present a frontal plane model stabilized by delayed feedback to …

The neuromuscular system used to stabilize upright posture in humans is a nonlinear
dynamical system with time delays. The analysis of this system is important for improving …

Lifespan development of postural control shows as an inverted U-shaped function with
optimal performance in young adults and similar levels of underperformance in children and …
