Whole body coordination during turning while walking in stroke survivors
This body of work sought to explore kinematic impairments which may underlie falls incidences during turning following stroke and review the evidence for the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving aspects of locomotor coordination which are key to controlling turning. A systematic review …

Sensory and Cognitive Influences on Oculomotor and Whole-body Coordination during Standing Turns
… involves a stereotyped sequence of eye, head and body segment rotation characterized by an anticipatory gaze strategy driven primarily by eye movements (nystagmus). However, the relationship between eye movements and whole-body coordination during turning has not been fully explored under …

An investigation of the contribution of axial rigidity to turning deficits in individuals with Parkinson’s disease
… then observing the effects on eye movements and whole-body coordination while turning on the spot. The results revealed that experimentally inducing head and neck rigidity had multiple effects on eye movement characteristics, step amplitude, and total steps taken to complete the turn. The …

Developing and Evaluating New Methods for Assessing Postural Control and Dynamics
… research has been conducted regarding postural coordination and control, and other mechanisms/processes involved in maintaining postural stability. However, there is relatively limited knowledge regarding the patterns of joint coordination, the underlying postural controller, and efficient …

A Dynamical Analysis of Changing Direction During Walking
… was conducted which included examination of: the body segment contributions to the angular momentum about the center of mass of the whole body, coordination and control of interlimb and intralimb at the lower extremities, forces and moments of force at the lower extremities, and preparation for …
