Correct and early diagnosis of functional dizziness, as primary cause or secondary disorder
after a structural vestibular syndrome, is very important to prevent further chronification and …

This review addresses the possible structural and functional adaptations of the postural
function to motor experience. Evidence suggests that postural performance and strategy …

It has been just over 20 years since the effects of height-induced threat on human postural
control were first investigated. Raising the height of the support surface on which individuals …

Background fear of falling is common in older adults and can have a profound influence on a
variety of behaviours that increase fall risk. However, fear of falling can also have potentially …

Fear of falling increases conscious control of balance and postural threat warrants accurate
anticipatory motor commands for keeping a safe body posture. This study examines the …

Introduction Postural threat elicits modifications to standing balance. However, the
underlying neural mechanism (s) responsible remain unclear. Shifts in attention focus …

Background Older adults deemed to be at a high risk of falling will often display visual
search behaviors likely to impair movement planning when negotiating environmental …

Height-induced postural threat influences standing balance control. However, it is unknown
if minimizing individuals' emotional response to threat moderates this relationship. This …

Physics of Biological Action and Perception helps researchers interested in exploring
biological motor control from a physics or alternative viewpoint perspective. The book …

Advances in our understanding of postural control have highlighted the need to examine the
influence of higher brain centers in the modulation of this complex function. There is strong …
