Journal ArticleDOI
Central programming of postural movements: adaptation to altered support-surface configurations.
Fay B. Horak,L. M. Nashner +1 more
TL;DR: Exposing subjects to horizontal surface perturbations while standing on support surfaces intermediate in length between the shortest and longest elicited more complex postural movements and associated muscle activation patterns that resembled ankle and hip strategies combined in different temporal relations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postural Orientation and Equilibrium: What Do We Need to Know About Neural Control of Balance to Prevent Falls?
TL;DR: The effective rehabilitation of balance to improve mobility and to prevent falls requires a better understanding of the multiple mechanisms underlying postural control.
OtherDOI
Postural Orientation and Equilibrium
Fay B. Horak,Jane M. Macpherson +1 more
TL;DR: The sections in this article are: Neural Control of Postural Orientation and Equilibrium, Sensory Control, and Concluding Remarks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freezing of gait: Moving forward on a mysterious clinical phenomenon
TL;DR: Physiological, functional imaging, and clinical-pathological studies point to disturbances in frontal cortical regions, the basal ganglia, and the midbrain locomotor region as the probable origins of FoG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Components of postural dyscontrol in the elderly: a review.
TL;DR: The concept of a generalized aging effect on a generalized balance mechanism is discussed, and an alternative, multicomponent approach to understanding the heterogeneity of postural dyscontrol in the elderly is presented.
