A Postural Model of Balance-Correcting Movement Strategies
Journal of Vestibular Research, 1992
The patterns of joint torques and movement strategies underlying human balance corrections were examined using a postural model. Two types of support-surface perturbation, dorsiflexion rotation (ROT) and rearward translation (TRANS), were employed. These two perturbations were adjusted to produce similar profiles of ankle dorsiflexion in order to obtain information on the role of lower leg proprioceptive inputs on triggering balance corrections. In addition, the dependence of balance control on head angular and linear accelerations was investigated by comparing the responses of normal and vestibularly deficient subjects under eyes-closed and eyes-open conditions. Differences in ROT and TRANS movement strategies were examined in three ways First, the amplitude and polarity of active joint torques were analysed. These were obtained by altering joint torques applied to a postural model until movements of the model accurately duplicated those of measured responses. Second, the pattern o...
