Modulation and modeling of anticipatory postural adjustments for gait initiation in persons with Parkinson's disease
… is a diminished ability to properly coordinate anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) prior to the first step. In particular, diminished muscle activation leads to impaired limb mechanics and slower, less-coordinated gait initiation. Sensory cues have been demonstrated to improve gait …

Electromyographical Analysis of and Medial-Lateral Anticipatory Postural Adjustments prior to Stepping and Single Leg Reaching in Chronic Unstable Ankles
<p>The repetitive occurrence of multiple lateral ankle sprains within the physically active population is termed chronic ankle instability (CAI). Previous research remains limited regarding the preparatory activation of the dynamic restraints at the hip (gluteus medius-GM, adductor magnus-AM), and …

Influence of Vibratory Plantar Stimulation on Cortical Motor Planning and Spatiotemporal Step Parameters
… mechanoreceptors provide essential input for anticipatory postural adjustments and gait initiation. Although previous literature suggests that plantar vibratory stimulation can improve balance and reduce gait variability, its influence on cortical motor planning remains unclear. This study …

Postural Control Processes During Static and Dynamic Activities in Autism Spectrum Disorder
… autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show multiple postural control deficits, including reduced postural stability during standing and reduced amplitude and frequency of anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) prior to planned movements. This study aims to identify mechanisms of postural control …

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON POSTURAL CONTROL IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS
… posture. The research activity RA-1 involved the postural analysis of children with neurological or neuromuscular diseases with the aim of differentiating the pathologies under study; the others (RA-2 and RA-3) focused on gait initiation (GI). Specifically, I started a study (RA-2) to assess the …
