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 کاملEffects of Upright Posture
Previous hemodynamic studies of patients with septal defects, or patent ductus arteriosus, have been made with the patient recumbent in the horizontal posture. Our studies indicate unexpected changes in pulmonary blood flow with the upright posture, and often further increments in flow during walking that are different from those reported for exercise in recumbency. It is suggested that such de...
متن کاملReliability of upright posture measurements in primary school children
BACKGROUND Correct upright posture is considered to be a measure of good musculoskeletal health. Little is known about the usual variability of children's upright standing posture. The aim of this study was to assess differences between repeated measures of upright posture in a group of primary school children. METHODS Sagittal plane photographs of usual, relaxed upright standing posture of 3...
متن کاملUpright Posture Stabilization by Ground Reaction Force Control
When standing on a slope, a human adjusts his or her posture, i.e., ankle joint angles adjust to the gradient of the slope. In such adaptive behavior, ground reaction forces play an important role. Based on this view, we propose a new posture control law that employs PD and force feedback control, and prove its effectiveness in creating local stability. Applying this control law to a simple rob...
متن کاملFetal malnutrition - the price of upright posture?
The pattern of preterm fetal growth faltering, normally seen in man, differs from that observed in animals. This type of fetal growth cannot be considered as an adaptation to facilitate birth but is more likely to be due to rapid evolution and imperfect adaptation to the upright posture. The pattern of posture and physical activity during pregnancy may therefore be an important determinant of f...
