Design of human-like posture prediction for inverse kinematic posture control of a humanoid robot
… are posed to move towards the real-time motion control of a redundant humanoid robot by way of human-like posture prediction.

A posture control model and balance test for the prediction of relative postural stability, with special consideration to the problem of falling in the elderly
… testing methodology was developed, based on a posture control model which defines relative stability by the degree to which a transient postural perturbation would cause the centre-of-pressure on the feet to approach the limits of the base-of-support. To minimize anticipatory adaptations and to …

Towards Perturbation-free Identification of Human Standing Balance
… we do not yet fully understand the neuromuscular control of balance. A method to estimate natural, unperturbed standing balance dynamics would provide a necessary tool to examine the apparent control mechanisms employed by healthy individuals, and lead to insight and inspiration for developing …

Creating tactile feedback with intelligent electrical stimulation to compensate for sensory impairment.
… to determine whether the EFS had an effect on posture control in standing and confidence in walking among individuals suffering from peripheral neuropathy. A wearable EFS has been developed in this work including the hardware design for an electrocutaneous stimulation and a processing unit to …

Topology of learning and correction in dynamic balance
… explore this, we look at a concrete example from posture control, balance, to understand how learning modifies it. This research focuses on identifying an algorithm looking at the process of correction during dynamic balance. We outline an experiment whereby healthy subjects attempt to learn to …

Two-channel surface stimulation for the correction of drop foot.
… main focus of the study was the effect on foot posture of changing the currents in each channel (the 'current balance'), and the possibility of using this in an open-loop or closed-loop control system to compensate for variation in electrode position. 3 In support of closed-loop control, a …

Posture and sports performance
… the influence of a device intended to "modify posture" and its influence on sports performance. We investigated the impact of a hand-grip device (e3 Fitness Grips, BioGrip, Sacramento, CA) designed to put the human skeleton in a "more favorable anatomical position," on 3.2-kilometer (2-mile) …

Experimental Measurement of the Utricle's Dynamic Response and the Mechanoelectrical Characterization of a Micron-Sized DIB
… for the utilization of image fixation, muscle posture control, and the coordination of musculoskeletal movement in dynamic body motion. The utricle of the red ear slider turtle was studied in this dissertation. The turtle's utricle is composed of several layers. The base layer contains a set of …

Achillessehnen-Vibration als spezifische Störreizung der propriozeptiven Rückmeldung bei der Standkontrolle des Menschen
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Bedeutung der Propriozeption bei der Standregulation des Menschen. In dieser ist eine lokale Rückkopplungsschleife zur Regelung der Körperposition im Sprunggelenk gegen die Füße auf einer Fußunterstützungsfläche realisiert. Es wurde eine Methode entwickelt, mit …
