Research on the use of vision for controlling posture is examined, showing how it has
focused on (1) neurophysiological processes underlying the intrinsic coordination in posture …

Postural control may be an ideal physiological motor task for elucidating general questions
about the organization, diversity, flexibility, and variability of biological motor behaviors …

Human stance requires the coordination of multiple joints. This article examines the
dynamics of postural coordination modes involving the torso and legs in the control of stance …

Movements are inherently variable. When we move to a particular point in space, a cloud of
final limb positions is observed around the target. Previously we noted that patterns of …

There are contrasting views on the role of vision in modifying postural organization
(information-driven and postural facilitation) and limited direct tests of the underlying …

Differential performance over a wide range of possible postural coordination modes was
investigated using 16 ankle–hip relative phase patterns from 0° to 337.5°. Participants were …

This study examined the effects of ice-induced plantar desensitization and the withdrawal of
visual feedback on the magnitude and time-dependent structure of postural sway variability …

Publisher Summary Studies on the control of posture and locomotion over the past century
have taken a variety of experimental perspectives, including neurophysiological …

This study examined the influence of visual information on the multi-joint coordination
patterns in maintaining one-leg stance. 12 participants stood still on their left leg for two 1 …

The authors investigated whether compensatory postural coordination patterns are
organized according to the same dynamical principles as are nonequilibrium phase …
