Posture control to maintain an upright stance is one of the most important and basic
requirements in the daily life of humans. The sensory inputs involved in posture control …

The traditionally separate researches on cognitive functions and basic coordinations such
as stance and locomotion are coming together in the study of posture-cognition dual-tasking …

Postural control is a natural behavior that requires the spatial and temporal coordination of
multiple muscles. Complex muscle activation patterns characterizing postural responses …

Human walking has previously been described as “controlled falling.” Some computational
models, however, suggest that gait may also have self-stabilizing aspects requiring little …

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

Equilibrium maintenance during standing in humans was investigated with a 3-joint (ankle,
knee and hip) sagittal model of body movement. The experimental paradigm consisted of …

The central nervous system (CNS) utilizes anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs)
postural adjustments to maintain equilibrium while standing. It is known that these postural …

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 …

When standing quietly, human upright stance is typically approximated as a single segment
inverted pendulum. In contrast, investigations which perturb upright stance with support …

This study tested the hypotheses that all major joints along the longitudinal axis of the body
are equally active during quiet standing and that their motions are coordinated to stabilize …
