Postural Control

Postural control is the ability to maintain upright position in the field of gravity and the ability to maintain the total body center of mass within the base of support.  The body’s base of support is when limited areas permit frequent excursion outside the limits of stability.  The force associated with limb movement is sufficient […]

Locomotion

Locomotion is the motor activity which results in translation of the total body center of mass, defined by rhythmicity.  Locomotion has two philosophical approaches; the dynamic approach and motor programming.  The dynamic approach influences the peripheral sensory information and mechanics.  It has rhythmic neural output resulting from non-rhythmic sensory input.  It is also known as non-linear […]
