A Pinned Polymer Model of Posture Control
نویسنده
چکیده
A phenomenological model of human posture control is posited. The dynamics are modelled as an elastically pinned polymer under the innuence of noise. The model accurately reproduces the two-point correlation function of experimental posture data and makes predictions for the response function of the postural control system. The physiological and clinical signiicance of the model is discussed.

متن کاملThe Dynamics of Quasistatic Posture Control
The output of the human postural control system is highly irregular, even under quiet-standing conditions. To describe the observed dynamics of human posture control, we propose a simple, analytical stochastic model, consisting of a pinned polymer. For such a system, there exists a uctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT), which provides a linear relationship between the correlations of the system a...
متن کاملHuman balance out of equilibrium :
During quiet standing, the human body sways in a stochastic manner. Here we apply the uctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) to the human postural control system and show that the dynamic response of the postural control system to a weak mechanical perturbation can be predicted from the uctuations exhibited by the system under quasi-static conditions. We also show that the estimated correlation an...
متن کاملY-Shaped Polymer Brushes: Nanoscale Switchable Surfaces
We report a first observation of nanoscale surface structures of segregated pinned micelles of grafted Y-shaped molecules and their reversible structural reorganization. We designed a novel type of Y-shaped molecules combining two highly incompatible polymer chains (arms) attached to a single focal point capable of chemical grafting to a functionalized silicon surface. We demonstrated that spat...
