Understanding standing
… biomechanical, dynamical, and sensorial bases of bipedal stance. Theoretical issues are related to rehabilitation medicine, clinical techniques, and pedagogical strategy. The rich empirical basis of movement re-education approaches serves as the basis for new research questions and offers clues to …

Topological relations between postural configuration and manual control performance
… relations between postural configuration during bipedal stance and performance on manual control task. Postural control is influenced by the interaction of the constraints imposed on perceptual motor workspace. The manipulation of any constraints would bring the individual to change the body …

Adaptation and learning in postural control
The importance of the ability to use bipedal stance and gait in everyday life cannot be underestimated. Bipedal stance is learned during childhood and constantly adapted to changing circumstances throughout life. Failure to attain and maintain the control of upright posture can have catastrophic …

Evaluation of Linear and Nonlinear Postural Stability Measurements Following Concussion
… To evaluate a unipedal and bipedal quiet stance protocol consisting of linear and nonlinear CoP measurements with varying durations in a concussed population throughout recovery. <strong>Methods: </strong>Thirteen NCAA Division I Collegiate Football players (age: 20.1 ± 1.6 …

Assessing the Effects of Exoskeleton Use on Balance and Postural Stability
… The first study demonstrated that during quiet bipedal stance, BSE use increased median frequency and velocity of the center of pressure in the anterior-posterior direction. In the second study on level walking, BSE use caused an increase in gait step width and gait variability, and decrease in …

Effect of Age on Visual Dependence for Spatial Orientation and Postural Control
… a force plate during static (one and two legged stance) and dynamic (stepping) tasks with eyes open (viewing static and rotating images) and closed.<br/>It was found in Chapter 2 that presentation shape (rectangular or round) had no effect on visual dependence. However pixellation on a TV screen …
