Neural Control of Standing Posture
When humans are asked to stand normally, they are not completely motionless. Rather, small amounts of body movement, termed postural sway, can be observed. Although the postural sway of standing has been well described, the manner in which this sway is neurally controlled and its influence in tasks involving postural re-stabilization are not known. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to inves...
متن کاملBioceramic fabrics improve quiet standing posture and handstand stability in expert gymnasts.
Bioceramic fabrics have been claimed to improve blood circulation, thermoregulation and muscle relaxation, thereby also improving muscular activity. Here we tested whether bioceramic fabrics have an effect on postural control and contribute to improve postural stability. In Experiment 1, we tested whether bioceramic fabrics contribute to reduce body-sway when maintaining standard standing postu...
متن کاملEffect of pelvic tilt on standing posture.
Low back dysfunction is associated in many cases with lumbar lordosis, and tilting the pelvis posteriorly is often recommended for therapeutic purposes. The influence of pelvic tilt on the spinal curves has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to use an objective noninvasive method to determine the effect of the pelvic tilt on the spinal curves in the sagittal plane. Thirty-two healt...
متن کاملHow Posture Affects Memory Recall and Mood
Body posture reflects emotional states, and this study investigates the effect of posture sitting in a slouched or upright position on recall of either negative (hopeless, helpless, powerless, or defeated) memories or positive (empowered or optimistic) memories. Two hundred and sixteen college students sat in either a slouched or an erect position while recalling negative memories and then in a...
متن کاملStability Areas During Quiet Standing
The experiments performed in our laboratory revealed that able-bodied subjects use four different high-level control strategies to maintain stable quiet standing, and that there is a direct correlation between these control strategies and the position of the subject's center of pressure (COP). The overall COP area was divided into four zones: a high preference zone, a low preference zone, an un...
