Working memory load modulates anticipatory postural adjustments during step initiation
Working memory (WM) can influence selective attention. However, the effect of WM load on postural standing tasks has been poorly understood, even...

Age-related asymmetry in anticipatory postural movements during unilateral arm movement and imagery
Reaching movements of the arms are accompanied by anticipatory (APM) and compensatory postural motion (CPM) that counteract the resulting...

Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Modulates Anticipatory Postural Adjustments in Healthy Adults
During forward swinging of the arm, the central nervous system must anticipate the effect of upraising upon the body. Little is known about the...

Vibratory cue training elicits anticipatory postural responses to an external perturbation
Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) represent the feedforward mechanism of neuromuscular control essential for maintaining balance under...
-
Older adults can rely on an auditory cue to generate anticipatory postural adjustments prior to an external perturbation
To minimize the potential postural disturbance induced by predictable external perturbations, humans generate anticipatory postural adjustments...

The benefit of knowledge: postural response modulation by foreknowledge of equilibrium perturbation in an upper limb task
For whole-body sway patterns, a compound motor response following an external stimulus may comprise reflexes, postural adjustments (anticipatory or...

Postural adjustments to self-triggered perturbations under conditions of changes in body orientation
We studied anticipatory and compensatory postural adjustments (APAs and CPAs) associated with self-triggered postural perturbations in conditions...

An increase in relative contribution of compensatory postural adjustments during voluntary movement while standing in adolescents and young adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy
Previous studies have revealed several deficits in anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) during voluntary movements while standing in individuals...

Effect of predictability of the magnitude of a perturbation on anticipatory and compensatory postural adjustments
Balance maintenance in response to a perturbation could be affected by the predictability of the magnitude of the body disturbance. We investigated...

The impact of external and internal focus of attention on visual dependence and EEG alpha oscillations during postural control
BackgroundThe ability to maintain upright posture requires successful integration of multiple sensory inputs (visual, vestibular, and somatosensory)....

The role of an auditory cue in generating anticipatory postural adjustments in response to an external perturbation
Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are usually generated to minimize the potential postural disturbance induced by predictable external...

Age differences in anticipatory and executory mechanisms of gait initiation following unexpected balance perturbations
PurposeAn age-related decline in anticipatory postural mechanisms has been reported during gait initiation; however, it is unclear whether such...

Simulated practice effects on the transfer and retention of gait sequences from the upper to the lower extremity
This study investigated transfer of training from upper extremity limbs (the index fingers) to the lower extremity limbs (the legs) for performance...

Trunk postural reactions to the force perturbation intensity and frequency during sitting astride in children with cerebral palsy
The purpose of this study was to examine kinematic and neuromuscular responses of the head and body to pelvis perturbations with different...

A neuromechanical model characterizing the motor planning and posture control in the voluntary lean in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease targets patients’ cognitive and motor abilities, including postural control. Many studies have been carried out to introduce...

Age-related differences in postural adjustments during limb movement and motor imagery in young and older adults
Recent research has shown that systematic postural adjustments occur during periods of manual motor imagery (MI), but the timing (anticipatory or...
-
Role of angular position of the seat in control of posture in response to external perturbation
Ability of the human body to regain balance after being externally perturbed is important in the maintenance of vertical posture. The goal of this...

Dissociated cerebellar contributions to feedforward gait adaptation
The cerebellum is important for motor adaptation. Lesions to the vestibulo-cerebellum selectively cause gait ataxia. Here we investigate how such...

Cerebellar Control of Posture
Cerebellar control of posture is mainly based on the connections of the cerebellum with brainstem reticular formation and vestibular system, which...

Vestibular input modulates step** balance reactions early in the pre-step phase through to post-recovery
Compensatory step** reactions to recover balance are frequently performed, however, the role of sensory feedback in regulating these responses is...
