Posturo-kinetic capacity in the disabled
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
“Normal movements” in atypical populations address the question of postural control: Voluntary movement is a perturbation of body balance and cannot be executed without a convenient counterperturbation. Despite a change in the postural program in relation to the impairment (Parkinson's disease, paraplegia), the performance level is decreased. Movements are not “normal,” owing to a reduction in posturokinetic capacity.
