Analysis of postural sway strategies using an inverted pendulum model and force plate data

Analyzing gastrocnemius EMG-activity and sway data from quiet and perturbed standing

“…The A/P COP-y is almost proportional to the torque T vis-à-vis the ankle joints (in the sagittal plane), and thus the muscular force, since we have according to the human inverted pendulum model (Karlsson and Lanshammar, 1997),…”

Comparisons of the inter-joint coordination between leading and trailing limbs when crossing obstacles of different heights

“…A similar phenomenon was also found in the trailing limb when the leading toe was above the obstacle. The mechanisms behind these phenomena may be similar to the ankle strategy used in maintaining balance as a singlesegment inverted pendulum by producing a torque at the ankle during quiet standing [31][32][33]. Since obstacle-crossing requires precise swing foot control, while body balance is maintained mainly by the stance limb, the difference of the inter-joint coordination patterns between the swing and stance phases further supports the idea that well-controlled inter-limb coordination is needed to perform stable and safe obstacle-crossing.…”
