Postural control refers to the ability of an individual to maintain balance and stability while standing, walking, or performing various movements. This area of research focuses on understanding the mechanisms and processes involved in maintaining posture, as well as how impairments in postural control can lead to falls and other mobility problems. Research in postural control often involves examining the sensory systems, motor control, and biomechanics involved in maintaining balance, as well as developing interventions to improve postural stability in individuals with balance disorders or neurological conditions. Overall, the goal of research in postural control is to improve our understanding of how the body maintains balance and stability, and to develop effective interventions to prevent falls and improve quality of life.
