Method for the analysis of the neural mechanisms for postural adjustments

This paper presents an approach to modelling of elements of the neuromuscular system. The paper provides a brief account of the main features of the biological system and discusses ways in which certain elements of the system, such as the muscle spindle, can be modelled. Emphasis is placed on an experimentally-based approach

An application of self-adaptive modelling techniques in an investigation of the neural mechanisms for postural adjustments

The work described in this paper is concerned with the development of methods for on-line modelling and investigation of the neuromuscular system and thus to provide a means of making progress towards a consistent theory of postural control. Self-adaptive modelling techniques are used to track parameters of certain elements of the system, especially the muscle spindle receptors, during the performance of specific postural acts. This provides information about ways in which muscle spindle activity is adjusted by the central nervous system
