A model of postural control in quiet standing: robust compensation of delay-induced instability using intermittent activation of feedback control.
Yoshiyuki Asai,Yuichi Tasaka,Kunihiko Nomura,Taishin Nomura,Maura Casadio,Pietro Morasso,Pietro Morasso +6 more
TL;DR: Different from the standard continuous model, whose PSD function is similar to an over-damped second order system without a resonance, the intermittent control model is capable to exhibit the two power law scaling regimes that are typical of physiological sway movements in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct measurement of ankle stiffness during quiet standing : implications for control modelling and clinical application
TL;DR: It is argued that this figure identifies the lower bound of the range of values which characterise normal sway in quiet standing, whereas the upper bound is given by the estimates performed with much smaller test disturbances which yield a higher value: 91+/-23%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bounded stability of the quiet standing posture: An intermittent control model
TL;DR: A control model of body sway in quiet standing is presented, which aims at achieving bounded stability by means of an intermittent control mechanism that incorporates a rough, but working knowledge of the biomechanics of the human inverted pendulum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body sway during quiet standing: Is it the residual chattering of an intermittent stabilization process?
TL;DR: The possibility of a form of stability weaker than asymptotic stability in light of the intermittent stabilization mechanism outlined by Loram and Lakie is addressed, and sliding mode control theory is drawn attention to that provides a useful theoretical framework for formulating realistic intermittent, stabilization models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Braccio di Ferro: a new haptic workstation for neuromotor rehabilitation.
TL;DR: This technical note describes a new robotic workstation for neurological rehabilitation, shortly named Braccio di Ferro, designed by having in mind the range of forces and the frequency bandwidth that characterize the interaction between a patient and a physical therapist.
