Postural Threat Influences the Coupling Between Anticipatory and Compensatory Postural Adjustments in Response to an External Perturbation
Article
Full-text available
  • Mar 2022
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 anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments generated in response to an external perturbation while individuals are positioned at two different altitud...

... Prior to expected body perturbations, the central nervous system uses anticipatory activation of muscles to preserve body equilibrium, which is defined collectively as APAs. After the perturbation, CPAs produce the activation of postural muscles and deploy strategies to help restore body balance [9]. Surface electromyography (sEMG) can be used to measure APAs and CPAs. ...
