Term
postural control
Definition
-controlling body postiion in space
*stability
-task, environment,individual
*orientation
Term
postural orientation
Definition
maintain appropriate realtionship between body segments and between body and the environment
Term
balance
Definition
ability to control the com in realtionships to the bos (base of support)
Term
center of gravity (cog)
Definition
vertical projection of the COM
Term
postural stabily=
Definition
balance
Term
base of support (bos)
Definition
area of body in contact with the support surface
Term
stability limits change by many factors
Definition
-task
-environment
-individual characteristics, sensory orientation,internal representation
-ROM,strength, alignment
-COM
-position
-velocity
Term
during gt the _____falls anterior to the ____and the person must step forward to reestablish the____within the _____to avoid falling
Definition
COG

Term
in gt if the COM fall outside of the BOS the normal response is to
Definition
step ot reach
Term
COP-center of pressure
Definition
center of the distribution of total forces appiled to the suppporting surface, represents the average 'location" of the forces but not the forces
Term
COP-COM interaction is a
Definition
good estimate of efficacy of posturl control
Term
contributing factors for quiet stance
Definition
-body alignment
-muscle tone
-postural tone
Term
feedback control-postural control
Definition
when the sensory feedback is available from external perturbation
(ankle or hip strategy, stepping,reaching)
Term
feedforward control-postural control
Definition
when response is made to voluntary mvmt that is potentially destabilizing
(anticipatory postural adjustments)
Term
synergies is functional coupling or constraining groups of muscle so that they act together as a fucntional unit this
Definition
reduces the degrees of freedom for the brain
Term
posturography
Definition
-platform moves in AP direction
-emg
-postural mvmt strategies
Term
ankle strategy
Definition
distal to proximal direction
ex ankle, hip, and knee
-small perturbations on firm surface
Term
hip strategy
Definition
proximal muscles activated first
-large rapid motion at the hips
occurs
-standing on narrow BOS or compliant surface
-larger, faster perturbations
Term
people use this strategy when the ankle or hip strategy do not maintain the vertical projection of COM within BOS. this also occurs when COM is well within the BOS
Definition
STEPPING OR REACHING STRATEGY
Term
mediolateral stability
Definition
proximal to distal muscle activation pattern
-head
-hip
-ankle
*head motion occurs in the opposite direction of hip and ankle activation
Term
the multidirectional stability are ___.
Definition
flexible
Term
3 forms of postural synergies
Definition
2 diaganol (AP direction)
-1 active in response to lateral surface translations
Term
adaptation is the________
Definition
ability to modify response according to the task demands
*w repeated trials motor strategy chnage
(5 to 10) trials
Term
spinal cats- postural stability is poor, therefore postral stability is________________.
Definition
not organized at the spinal cord level
Term
the brainstem aids in regulation of _______
Definition
postural tone.( facilitation and inhibition)
Term
BG coritcol loop participates in control of
