exam 3 Flashcards
(215 cards)
dynamic process which body position maintained in equilibrium
balance
at rest
static
steady state of motion (surface/ person)
dynamic
COM / COG is maintain over BOS
corresponds to center of total body mass is point where body is in equilibrium
center of mass
vertical projection of COM to ground
anterior to S2
55% person height
Center of gravity
base of support is perimeter of contact area between body & support surface
wider stance/ increase stability
narrow stance / decrease stability
wide stance can increase rate of falling- need good posture
limits of stability LOS
sway of boundaries in which individual can maintain equilibrium w/o change BOS
sensory processes are
visual
vestibular
somatosensory (proprioception)
sensorimotor intergration
motor response
adaptive / anticipatory of posture control
motor- Conscious- plan program excute balance response
sensation (GTO MSF) mechanorecptors
touch pressure vibration
contextual / environment
closed predictable - no distractions
open predictable - distractions
support surface
firm vs slippery stable vs unstable
lighting , task - new or learned
visual
- position of head to environment
-orientation of head to maintain gaze level
-direction/ speed of head
somatosensory
- muscle spindle
muscle length (joint position sense)
GTO muscle tension
joint receptors (muscle tone, stiff, posture adjustment)
skin receptors
balance control is visual , vestibular, sensation
Vestibular SCCs
-semicircular canals
angular/ rotatory accerelation- fast head movement
* head tilts, motion sick bc body going faster than inner ears can keep up
-otoliths (utricle/ saccule)
linear acceleration- slow head movement
*linear - treadmill , walk pad
* vertical - diving board
neuropathy- can’t feel sensation in feet , systems can compensate
Vestibulospinal reflex- compensates tilts
vestibulospinal tract- inner ear
helps body adjust for any tilts / changes in posture that body needs
keeps body upright
vestibulcular reflex : keep eye stabilize
stabilize head during movements from vestibular nuclei
*keep object in focus
fast to slow is
somatosensory
visual
vestibular
CNS- turns off / suppress inaccurate input
*selects / combines appropriate sensory input from other 2 systems
automatic postural reaction
- change in position , need to respond
activation of postural muscles in perform skill movement
- reach high cup off shelf
have to get on toes
anticipatory balance
movement occur too fast to rely on sensory feedback
*lose balance before fall
reactive
