Understanding of the human body's internal processes to maintain balance is fundamental
to simulate postural control behaviour. The body uses multiple sensory systems' information …

The question of how the inverted position of a pendulum can be stabilized is of fundamental
importance for understanding human balancing tasks. Applications range from postural …

Gyroscopic actuators are appealing for wearable applications due to their ability to provide
overground balance support without obstructing the legs. Multiple wearable robots using this …

Objective To investigate postural control related to a lower limb exoskeleton (Chairless
Chair) when (a) reaching for a working tool, and (b) an external perturbation occurs …

Postural sway is a result of a complex action–reaction feedback mechanism generated by
the interplay between the environment, the sensory perception, the neural system and the …

Background Lower extremity exoskeletons are mainly used to provide stepping support,
while balancing is left to the user. Designing balance controllers is one of the biggest …

Objective quantification of the balancing mechanisms in humans is strongly needed in
health care of older people, yet is largely missing among current clinical balance …

Background Alterations in motor control systems is an inevitable consequence of space
flights of any duration. After the flight, the crew-members have significant difficulties with …

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

Performance and control of upright bipedal posture requires a constant and dynamic
integration of relative contributions of different sensory inputs (ie, sensory reweighting) to …
