VESTIBULAR AND REFLEX CONTROL OF NORMAL STANDING

The regulation of antero-posterior body sway about the ankle joints has been the object of this study of human posture control. The stabilizing influences of two of the relevant sensory systems have been studied: (1) postural responses initiated by the vestibular system as a consequence of body sway motion and (2) muscle proprioceptive reflexes and sensory systems of the ankle joints responding to ankle joint rotation during body sway.
