Impairments of balance and gait leading to loss of mobility, falls, and disability are common
occurrences in many neurologic conditions and with older age. Much of our current …

Postural control is a complex sensorimotor skill that is fundamental to our daily life. The
abilities to maintain and recover balance degrade with age. However, the time decay of …

The seemingly effortless ability to maintain and adapt posture has traditionally been
explained as the achievement of a single, relatively permanent postural control system …

Humans control balance using different feedback loops involving the vestibular system, the
visual system, and proprioception. In this article, we focus on proprioception and explore the …

Balance and core stabilization exercises have often been associated with improved athlete
performance and/or decreased incidence of injuries. While these exercises seem to be …

During standing balance, kinematics of postural behaviors have been previously observed
to change across visual conditions, perturbation amplitudes, or perturbation frequencies …

It has long been held that the net center of pressure (COP NET) is the controlling variable to
human stance that indirectly represents postural sway. The formation of the COP NET …

This study analysed the equilibrium strategies and EMG activity during postural equilibrium
in four different unstable surfaces. Thirteen team sport males were tested on a FLAT surface …

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 …

Background Studies of human upright posture typically have stressed the need to control
ankle and hip joints to achieve postural stability. Recent studies, however, suggest that …
