Experimental studies have shown that a continuum of ankle and hip strategies is used to
restore posture following an external perturbation. Postural responses can be modeled by …

We studied the extent to which automatic postural actions in standing human subjects are
organized by a limited repertoire of central motor programs. Subjects stood on support …

We tested whether human postural responses can be described in terms of feedback control
gains, and whether these gains are scaled by the central nervous system to accommodate …

The aim of this study was to determine whether and how young participants modulate their
postural response to compensate for postural muscle fatigue during predictable but …

Previous studies have identified two discrete strategies for the control of posture in the
sagittal plane based on EMG activations, body kinematics, and ground reaction forces. The …

Background: To maintain an upright standing posture against external disturbances, the
human body mainly employs two types of postural control strategies:“ankle strategy” and …

This investigation aimed to assess the effect of feet orientation angle in upright stance on
automatic postural responses (APRs) to mechanical perturbations of different magnitudes …

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 …

Objectives: The study addresses two controversial issues surrounding the nature of
anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). The first deals with the reproducible APA patterns …

The aim of this study was twofold, to analyze the effects of changes in body position and
changes in the location of body supports on anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). Eight …
