Abstract(s)
Understanding postural control requires considering various mechanisms underlying a person's ability to stand, to walk, and to interact with the environment safely and efficiently. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the functional relation between biomechanical and neurophysiological perspectives related to postural control in both standing and walking based on movement efficiency. Evidence related to the biomechanical and neurophysiological mechanisms is explored as well as the role of proprioceptive input on postural and movement control.
