A Pinned Polymer Model of Posture Control
A phenomenological model of human posture control is posited. The dynamics
are modelled as an elastically pinned polymer under the influence of noise. The
model accurately reproduces the two-point correlation functions of experimental
posture data and makes predictions for the response function of the postural
control system. The physiological and clinical significance of the model is
discussed.Comment: uuencoded post script file, 17 pages with 3 figure
