In this review paper, we go over the mechanisms available to the CNS to control balance during locomotion, discuss the relevant biomechanics, and review evidence for whether humans actually use each mechanisms to maintain balance while walking. Reimann, Fettrow,...

Funding: National Science Foundation, German Research Foundation Description. Maintaining balance during locomotion is a complex task with requirements and constraints that change during the gait cycle. To understand the control actions employed by the central nervous...
Description. Sub-concussion is a cranial impact that does not lead to clinical symptoms. Current thinking views subconcussion as an under-recognized phenomenon that may cause measurable neurological injury. We have established an innovative human experimental paradigm...
Funding: National Institute of Aging Previous research investigating visual feedback and postural control has focused on static posture while subjects attempt to keep their center of pressure on a visual target on a computer screen. This method of application has been...
