Threat assessment and locomotion: clinical applications of an integrated model of anxiety and postural control
JP Staab, CD Balaban, JM Furman - Seminars in neurology, 2013 - thieme-connect.com
Interactions between anxiety and vestibular symptoms have been described since the late
1800s. Typically, they have been conceptualized as bidirectional effects of one condition on …

New insights on emotional contributions to human postural control
AL Adkin, MG Carpenter - Frontiers in neurology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
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 …

Center-of-pressure regularity as a marker for attentional investment in postural control: a comparison between sitting and standing postures
M Roerdink, P Hlavackova, N Vuillerme - Human movement science, 2011 - Elsevier
Postural control is a highly automatized basic activity that requires limited attentional
investments. These investments have been shown to increase from balancing experts to …

Muscle networks: Connectivity analysis of EMG activity during postural control
Understanding the mechanisms that reduce the many degrees of freedom in the
musculoskeletal system remains an outstanding challenge. Muscle synergies reduce the …

Continuous cognitive task promotes greater postural stability than an internal or external focus of attention
N Polskaia, N Richer, E Dionne, Y Lajoie - Gait & posture, 2015 - Elsevier
Research has demonstrated clear advantages of using an external focus of attention in
postural control tasks, presumably since it allows a more automatic control of posture to …

Walk to me when I smile, step back when I'm angry: emotional faces modulate whole-body approach–avoidance behaviors
Facial expressions are potent social cues that can induce behavioral dispositions, such as
approach–avoidance tendencies. We studied these tendencies by asking participants to …

Aversive life events enhance human freezing responses.
In the present study, we investigated the effect of prior aversive life events on freezing-like
responses. Fifty healthy females were presented neutral, pleasant, and unpleasant images …

Fear bradycardia and activation of the human periaqueductal grey
Animal models of predator defense distinguish qualitatively different behavioral modes that
are activated at increasing levels of predation threat. A defense mode observed at …

The effects of attentional focus and cognitive tasks on postural sway may be the result of automaticity
N Richer, D Saunders, N Polskaia, Y Lajoie - Gait & Posture, 2017 - Elsevier
Research reveals improvements in postural control when focus is placed on movement
effects rather than movement production, and further improvements during the performance …
