Postural control involves a complex interaction of multiple systems in order to maintain stability and orientation. Multi-components of the conceptual model of postural control include: [5] Musculoskeletal components; Neuro muscular synergies; Individual sensory systems: visual, vestibular and somatosensory system; Sensory strategies ...
Injury to the ankle causes a proprioceptive deficit and impaired postural control. Individuals with muscular weakness, occult instability, and decreased postural control are more susceptible to ankle injury than those with better postural control. Balance can be severely affected in individuals with neurological conditions.
The study also highlights that for a better evaluation of postural control, additional assessment of movement strategies is indispensable. [2] Similarly, another study conducted by Brouwer et al. also claims that the Limits of Stability (LOS) test is a reliable measure for balance testing in healthy populations. [12]
The difference between expected posture and actual posture is corrected for via motorneurons in the spinal cord, which control muscle movements for righting the body. [ 9 ] These automatic postural adjustments can be explained in terms of two reflexes similar to the righting reflex: the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and the vestibulocollic ...
Successful motor control is crucial to interacting with the world to carry out goals as well as for posture, balance, and stability. Some researchers (mostly neuroscientists studying movement, such as Daniel Wolpert and Randy Flanagan ) argue that motor control is the reason brains exist at all.
Posturography is the technique used to quantify postural control in upright stance in either static or dynamic conditions. Among them, Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP), also called test of balance (TOB), is a non-invasive specialized clinical assessment technique used to quantify the central nervous system adaptive mechanisms (sensory, motor and central) involved in the control of ...
After testing, it was deduced that improved recovery after sensory stimulation can be accomplished by patients regaining near normal dynamics of human postural control. Postural control is one of the most important issues in rehabilitation of stroke, thus concluding that sensory stimulation obtained from this study may enhance the functional ...
The Halliwick Concept focuses on biophysical principles of motor control in water, in particular developing sense of balance (equilibrioception) and core stability.The Halliwick Ten-Point-Programme implements the concept in a progressive programme of mental adjustment, disengagement, and development of motor control, with an emphasis on rotational control, and applies the programme to teach ...
