Upright stance in humans is inherently unstable, requiring corrective action based on spatial-
orientation information from sensory systems. One might logically predict that environments …

It is generally accepted that human bipedal upright stance is achieved by feedback
mechanisms that generate an appropriate corrective torque based on body-sway motion …

The problem of how the nervous system fuses sensory information from multiple modalities
for upright stance control remains largely unsolved. It is well established that the visual …

The interaction of different orientation senses contributing to posture control is not well
understood. We therefore performed experiments in which we measured the postural …

A fundamental issue in motor control is how to determine the task goals for a given behavior.
Here, we address this question by separately identifying the musculoskeletal and feedback …

Humans maintain stable stance in a wide variety of environments. This robust behavior is
thought to involve sensory reweighting whereby the nervous system adjusts the relative …

Emergence of postural patterns as a function of vision and translation frequency. We
examined the frequency characteristics of human postural coordination and the role of visual …

Healthy humans control balance during stance by using an active feedback mechanism that
generates corrective torque based on a combination of movement and orientation cues from …

Although the neural basis of balance control remains unknown, recent studies suggest that a
feedback law on center-of-mass (CoM) kinematics determines the temporal patterning of …

We investigated the changes of human posture control of upright stance which occur when
vestibular cues (VEST) are absent and visual and somatosensory orientation cues (VIS …
