Direction-dependent control of balance during walking and standing.
Human walking has previously been described as "controlled falling." Some computational models, however, suggest that gait may also have self-stabilizing aspects requiring little CNS control. The fore-aft component of walking may even be passively stable from step to step, whereas lateral motion may be unstable and require motor control for balance, as through active foot placement. If this is ...
متن کاملHuman balance and posture control during standing and walking
The fact that we as humans are bipeds and locomote over the ground with one foot in contact (walking), no feet in contact (running), or both feet in contact (standing) creates a major challenge to our balance control system. Because two-thirds of our body mass is located two-thirds of body height above the ground we are an inherently unstable system unless a control system is continuously actin...
متن کاملStiffness Control of Balance during Quiet Standing
38 39 Distractions affect postural control, but this mechanism is not well understood. Diversion of 40 resources during cognitive stress may lead to decreased motor drive and postural muscle tone. 41 This may appear as decreased postural stiffness, and increased postural sway amplitude. We 42 hypothesized that dual tasking leads to decreased stiffness and increased sway amplitude. 43 Postural s...
متن کاملDynamics Study of Ankle Joint during Quiet Standing Balance Control with Emphasis on Dominant and Non-dominant Lower Limb
Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dominant lower limb on the correlation between some of the dynamic variables of ankle joint and center of mass during quiet standing balance control. Methods: Twelve healthy females with no known neurological or musculoskeletal disorders, with the mean age of 26±3.5 years, participated in this study. Motion analysis system, force ...
متن کاملOn the control of balance during quiet standing
A computer-interfaced balance board, with facilities for data capture and analysis, and with provision for various forms of biofeedback, was built primarily as a balance retraining aid for stroke and head injury victims and for amputees. The opportunity was taken to do a modelling study of the human balance control system as it presents itself during quiet standing; to apply principles of optim...
