Coordination Between Posture and Movement: Why and How?

J Massion and M Dufosse

Posture and movement are two different and often conflicting aspects of motor control. Postural control involves stabilizing a "reference" (joint angle, center, of gravity position) against disturbances exerted by external forces, whereas movement control involves reaching a new position through a trajectory. Voluntary movements tend to disturb posture and equilibrium and are therefore associated with "anticipatory" postural adjustments. This article reviews the coordination between posture and movement.
