Study Notes

Postural Control

Postural control is responsible for maintaining upright posture and stabilizing the body against gravity and other external forces.

Postural Orientation

Postural orientation is defined as the ability to align the body with its vertical axis, allowing for efficient and effective movement.

Stability Demands

Stability demands are low when the body is in a quiet, upright stance, with minimal external forces or perturbations acting on it.

Postural Stability

Postural stability refers to the ability to maintain a stable position, resisting changes in posture or movement, and recovering from perturbations or external forces.

Equilibrium or Balance

Equilibrium or balance involves the ability to maintain a stable position, with the body's center of gravity within its base of support, ensuring the body remains upright and stable.
