Human balance in quiet stance is the result of continuous center of pressure (COP) adjustments in anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions and controlled by ankle and hip mechanisms. These mechanisms joins the balance control in different combinations, depending on the stance position. The purpose of this study is to determine the participation of these mechanisms on different stance positions. 22 healthy subjects (20-28 years) were required to maintain their balances on a dual force plate for 60 seconds in 9 different positions (feet side-by-side, intermediate stance: 30°, 45° and 60° right/left foot forward, tandem left, tandem right). Three postural parameters, COPnet, net COP change, COPc, ankle activity and COPv, hip activity and dependency or independency of COPc and COPnet or COPv and COPnet were calculated in addition to the amplitude of contributions. In ML direction, tandem stance is maintained mainly by ankle mechanism (p<0.001). For all conditions except tandem stance, ML balance is controlled by hip mechanism (p<0.001). In AP direction, tandem stance is controlled primarily by the hip mechanism (p<0.001), but all the other conditions are controlled dominantly by the ankle mechanism (p<0.001). Yet, secondary mechanisms also joins to this control. An effect of stance position was identified (p<0.001). Moreover, for intermediate stance conditions, this effect was evident only for the secondary mechanisms. Dominant mechanisms are not affected from the adopted position as much as secondary mechanisms. Secondary mechanisms on the other hand, are adjusted to adapt to new conditions.

Active vibration suppression of a flexible beam via sliding mode and H ∞ control Itik, Mehmet; Salamci, Metin U.; Demet Ulker, F.; Yaman, Yavuz (2005-12-01) n this study, sliding mode and H. control techniques are applied to a flexible beam in order to suppress some of the vibration modes. The beam is a clamped-free flexible structure having piezoelectric (PZT) patches as actuators and a laser displacement sensor for measuring the tip point deflection. The beam is modeled in two different ways for each control algorithm. To implement sliding mode control (SMC), Euler-Bernoulli beam model is used and a finite dimensional LTI model is formed by using assumed mode...
Control of constrained spatial three-link flexible manipulators KILIÇASLAN, SİNAN; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Ider, S. Kemal (2007-06-29) This study deals with the force and motion control of a spatial three-link articulated manipulator with flexible second and third links. In order to reduce the complexity of the dynamic equations each link is modelled as if unconnected and the joint connections are expressed as constraint equations. Then the joint forces are eliminated and the number of equations is reduced by substituting the acceleration level constraint equations into the dynamic equations. The dynamic equations are partitioned as pseudo...
Examination of time-varying kinematic responses to support surface disturbances Gürses, Senih; Keshner, E. A. (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01) To examine the evolution of inter-segmental coordination over-time, a previously developed multivariate model of postural coordination during quiet stance by Kuo et al. [1,2] has been extended. In the original model, postural coordination was treated as an eigenvalue-eigenvector problem between two segmental degrees of freedom represented by angular displacements of the trunk and shank. Strategies of postural coordination were then identified using the sign of the covariance between the two segments' angula...
Effect of achilles tendon vibration at adapting to different sensory conditions Carlak, Renan Arda; Gürses, Senih; Department of Engineering Sciences (2019) The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Achilles tendon vibration (ATV) on postural sway behavior and backward body tilt (fall) response at adapting to different sensory conditions. The effect of anticipation on postural responses during ATV is also examined. Two different somatosensory environments are created which are without and with bodily somatosensory (touch) cue, respectively. In these different sensory environments, bipedal quiet stand test is applied on a force platform in both eyes-o...
