Postural Control

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Posture   Biomechanical alignment of the body. Orientation of the body to the environment  
🗑
Postural Orientation   Vertical for most fx tasks Active control of body alignment and tone with respect to gravity, support surface, visual environment, and internal references  
🗑
Postural Control   Complex motor skill based on the interaction of multiple dynamic sensorimotor processes involves controlling the position in space for the dual purpose of stability and orientation  
🗑
Spatial Orientation   Based on the interpretation of convergent sensory info from somatosensory, vestibular and visual systems  
🗑
Postural Stability   Coordination of sensorimotor strategies to stabilize the body's COM during self-initiated and externally triggered disturbances in postural stability ability to control the COM over the BOS  
🗑
Postural Control: Cognitive Influences   Anticipatory Postural control and Adaptive postural control  
🗑
Anticipatory Postural control   pretune sensory and motor systems for postural demand based on previous experience  
🗑
Adaptive Postural Control   Modification of the sensory and motor systems in response to changing task and environmental demands  
🗑
Postural Control: Cognitive influences has 3 components   Attention, Motivation, Intent  
🗑
Postural Control: Systems Approach   complex interactions among many bodily systems to control both orientation and stability of the body  
🗑
Postural Control: Systems Approach organization   Functional task and environment  
🗑
Steady-State balance control   ability to control the COM relative to the BOS predictable, non-changing conditions  
🗑
Movement Strategies   Stability limits, Ankle strategy, hip strategy  
🗑
Stability limits   Point at which a person will change the arrangement of their BOS to achieve stability. Impacted by cognitive, perceptual and nature of task  
🗑
Ankle Strategy   Used when perturbations in equilibrium are small. requires intact ROM and strength in the ankles. Leg and trunk segments move as a single unit  
🗑
Hip Strategy   Used to restore equilibrium in response to larger faster perturbations. Controls motion of the COM by producing large and rapid motions at the hip joint; antiphase rotations at the ankle. Leg and trunk segments move out of phase  
🗑
Reactive Balance Control   Ability to recover a stable position following a perturbation. Relies on feed back mechanisms, occurring in response to sensory feedback  
🗑
Reactive Control Motor Patterns   Fixed Support Change in Support Reach to grasp  
🗑
Proactive / Anticipatory Balance Control   Ability to activate muscles in the legs and trunk for balance control in advance of potentially destabilizing voluntary movements  
🗑
Proactive Balance Control parameters   Force is preprogrammed based on anticipation of what the task requires Anticipatory postural muscle activation is critical  
🗑
Environmental Constraints   Changes in support surfaces Differences in visual and surface conditions Multi-tasking  
🗑
Sensory/Perception Systems   Visual Inputs Somatosensory Inputs Vestibular Inputs Sensory Reweighting  
🗑
Visual Inputs   provides info about head position and motion with respect to surrounding objects Not always accurate important when using change in support strategies  
🗑
Somatosensory Inputs   Provides CNS with position and motion info about the body in relation to supporting surfaces not helpful with moving surfaces or surfaces that are not horizontal  
🗑
Vestibular Inputs   Provides CNS with info about the position and movement of the head in relation to gravity and inertial forces important in proactive balance - provide info about the task and environemnt  
🗑
Sensory Reweighting   Reliance on one sensory system for postural control increase while at the same time reliance on another sensory system decrease  
🗑
Postural Impairments: Steady-State Balance   Inability to assume and maintain a stable position. use of arms for support and balance which limits use of UE for functional tasks  
🗑
Postural Impairment: Alignment   Determines the effort required to support the body against gravity. Influences how muscles are recruited and coordinated for recovery of stability  
🗑
