From Egocentric to Exocentric Spatial Orientation: Development of Posture Control in Bimanual and Trunk Inclination Tasks

Abstract: The authors investigated the emergence of independent control of body segments in bimanual tasks involving either voluntary or involuntary trunk motion by tracking the transition from an ego- to an exocentric mode of postural control during childhood (i.e., from body-referenced orientation to externally referenced action). A paradigm combining a seated manual task and various trunk manipulations described the coordination strategies used by 24 children at different ages (2 to 9 years) and by adults.

“…Numerous authors believe that the age of seven is critical to postural development; and that this is the period when children may experience the biggest problems with maintaining balance [16]. Other authors suggest that the period of postural control development be prolonged to the eighth or ninth year of age [19]. There are also such studies in which the stability control of seven-year-olds is compared with the stability control of adults [18].…”

“…The crucial age for developing postural control is between the first and the seventh year of life [16], though Roncesvalles argues for extending this period to the eight or even ninth year of life [19]. At puberty, posture weakens due to neurohormonal reasons, after which the normal and stable posture is developed.…”

“…Hadders-Algra (2008) reported that by these ages, postural control develops according to the multiple sensory-motor functions. Other researchers have also demonstrated that in children at these ages, vestibular function reaches the adult level (Shumway-Cook and Woollacott, 1985), the postural reference frame shifts from a body-based egocentric to a gravity-based allocentric frame (Roncesvalles et al, 2005), and the anticipatory postural control ability improves significantly (Hay and Redon, 2001). In addition, some studies have suggested that the integration of multisensory information in children aged 7-10 years enables adaptive adjustment with respect to the external environment (Forssberg and Nashner, 1982;Shumway-Cook and Woollacott, 1985;Foudriat et al, 1993).…”

“…However, Wolański [25] and Roncesvalles et al [26] claim the period of postural development is even longer, until the age of 8-9. There are also such studies, which compare postural stability of 7 year-olds with adults [27].…”

“…Natomiast Wolański [25] oraz Roncesvalles i wsp. [26] przedłużają okres dojrzewania kontroli postawy do 8-9 roku życia. Oprócz tych prac są i takie, w których stabilność posturalną dzieci 7-letnich porównuje się z poziomem stabilności ciała osób dorosłych [27].…”
