This study examined how mediolateral foot placement is controlled following mechanical perturbations that affected either whole-body linear or angular momentum. Predictive foot placement models based ...

Feedback control is required to maintain stability in both walking and standing, whereas the control parameters may differ due to the inherently different characteristics of these tasks. How feedback ...

Background Gait instability is a common and disabling symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), contributing to frequent falls and reduced quality of life. While clinical balance tests and spatiotemporal g...

Stabilizing the upright posture of the trunk relies on vestibular and proprioceptive afference. Previous studies found that the feedback responses to sensory afference vary between postures and tasks....

Visual perturbations may lead to a perception of self-motion and affect balance control. We studied effects of different visual perturbations in 16 healthy young participants walking on a treadmill, b...

Background Accurate gait recognition from daily physical activities is a critical first step for further fall risk assessment and rehabilitation monitoring based on inertial sensors. However, most ope...

Stabilizing bipedal gait is mechanically challenging. Previous studies have used the assumption that the linear momentum of the body center of mass (CoM) is controlled to analyze how gait is stabilize...

Feedback stabilization of upright standing postures should be reflected by a time-lagged relationship between the ground reaction force (GRF) and the center of mass (COM) state. In this study, we prop...

Founded in 1850, The University of Utah is the flagship institution of higher learning in Utah, and offers over 100 undergraduate and more than 90 graduate degree programs to over 30,000 students. Uni...

“Trying too hard” can interfere with skilled movement, such as sports and music playing. Postural control can similarly suffer when conscious attention is directed toward it (“conscious movement proce...

Background As we age, avoiding falls becomes increasingly challenging. While balance training can mitigate such challenges, the specific mechanisms through which balance control improves remains uncle...
