Abstract

Whole body coordination is essential for maintaining human posture stability. Yet the control goals and influences of individual differences and task-related effects have not been well investigated. Uncontrolled manifold method was used to assess whole-body coordination during upright stance with 16 young and 16 older individuals. These ratios were obtained for the head, shoulder, and whole-body center-of-mass, in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions. As evidenced by larger uncontrolled manifold ratios, the head and shoulder appeared to be more likely than whole-body center-of-mass as control goals for whole body coordination. The present results demonstrate that investigation of head and shoulder kinematics among upright stance posture could be likely yielding clinical meaningful results.
