Recently, several studies have reported that muscle coactivation during static postural
control increases with aging. Although greater muscle coactivation during quiet standing …

The purpose of this study was to clarify the difference in muscle coactivation during postural
control between older and young adults and to identify the characteristics of postural control …

Background. Recently, several studies have reported age-associated increases in muscle
coactivation during postural control. A rigid posture induced by strong muscle coactivation …

Background Although several studies have reported that muscle coactivation during postural
control increases with age, the effect of higher muscle coactivation on standing postural …

It has been reported that the elderly use co-contraction of the tibialis anterior (TA) and
plantarflexor muscles for longer duration during quiet standing than the young. However, the …

Objectives: postural disturbances can arise from performing functional tasks and from
external perturbations. Identification of sensorimotor factors associated with both types of …

Human postural sway, as measured by fluctuations of the center of pressure (COP) under
the feet of a quietly standing individual, can be characterized as a stochastic process. The …

The elderly are known to exhibit declines in postural control during standing and walking,
however little is known about how the elderly react under time-critical and challenging …

Objectives The present study aimed to clarify the mechanisms of postural control during
standing in older adults and document the mechanisms of age-related motor control based …

To examine the age-related deterioration in postural control, we investigated the association
between postural sway during quiet standing and either amplitude of physiological tremor or …
