Independent effects of adding weight and inertia on balance during quiet standing
BACKGROUND Human balance during quiet standing is influenced by adding mass to the body with a backpack, with symmetrically-applied loads to the trunk, or with obesity. Adding mass to the body increases both the weight and inertia of the body, which theoretically could provide counteracting effects on body dynamics and balance. Understanding the independent effects of adding weight and inertia ...
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 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...
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 کاملStiffness control of balance in quiet standing.
Our goal was to provide some insights into how the CNS controls and maintains an upright standing posture, which is an integral part of activities of daily living. Although researchers have used simple performance measures of maintenance of this posture quite effectively in clinical decision making, the mechanisms and control principles involved have not been clear. We propose a relatively simp...
