The present data suggest that the postural disturbance that results from respiratory movement is matched, at least partly, and counteracted by small angular displacements of the lower trunk and lower limbs.

Impaired postural compensation for respiration in people with recurrent low back pain

The present data suggest that the postural compensation to respiration counteracts at least part of the disturbance to posture caused by respiration and that this compensation may be less effective in people with LBP.

Does increased muscular tension along the torso impair postural equilibrium in a standing posture?

Decreased respiratory-related postural perturbations at the cervical level under cognitive load

The concurrent reduction in the PV interaction at the cervical spine suggests that this “stabilization strategy” is centrally controlled and is achieved by a reduced in the breathing-related postural perturbations at this level.

Coupling Between Posture and Respiration Among the Postural Chain: Toward a Screening Tool for Respiratory-Related Balance Disorders

A simplified method of PRC assessment is proposed, which should simplify the evaluation of respiratory-related postural interactions in the clinical environment, by using a single device to simultaneously assess postural oscillations on body segments, and breathing pattern.

Acute effects of voluntary breathing patterns on postural control during walking.

Modulation and Coordination of Respiratory Rhythm with Discrete Finger Movements in Manual Precision Aiming

The results suggest that the respiratory system subtly adjusts to the requirements of the supra-postural manual aiming task, suggesting an important role of task demands in coordinating the activity of the posturalrespiratory synergy.

Is body balance more perturbed by respiration in seating than in standing posture?

It is concluded that respiration is a significant input for postural control, and that sitting entails less instantaneous steadiness, and the concept of respiratory synergy is discussed.

Stiffness control of balance in quiet standing.

A relatively simple control scheme for regulation of upright posture that provides almost instantaneous corrective response and reduces the operating demands on the CNS is proposed.

Preparatory trunk motion accompanies rapid upper limb movement

The results support the opinion that feedforward postural responses result in trunk movements, and that orientation of the trunk and centre of mass are both controlled variables in relation to rapid limb movements.

Respiratory components of human postural sway

Effects of abdominal and thoracic breathing on breathing pattern components in normal subjects and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Assessment of breathing pattern components measured noninvasively with the respiratory inductive plethysmograph found patients with COPD had heightened baseline respiratory center drive when compared with that in normal subjects, as evidenced by elevation of VI and mean respiratory flow.

The impact of cardiac activity on triaxially recorded endogenous microvibrations of the body

It is concluded that the triaxially recorded MV arise from cardiac activity, mainly reflected in the vertical (z) axis, and from skeletal musculature representing a mechanical oscillating system with varying material constants (muscle tension, inertial forces, etc.).

Properties of postural adjustments associated with rapid arm movements.

Postural muscle synergies were equivalent in muscle composition, relative activation magnitudes, and relative temporal sequencing and a conceptual model is proposed that suggests one simple way in which the reciprocal influence of postural set on postural and focal movement components and their temporal sequencing might be accomplished.

Force platform measures for evaluating postural control: reliability and validity.

Factor analysis showed that force measures were the best predictors of steadiness in each stance, but the axis varied according to the particular stance condition, which provides a rationale for choosing force measures in preference to CP measures on the fundamental principles of reliability and validity.

Open-loop and closed-loop control of posture: A random-walk analysis of center-of-pressure trajectories

This work strongly supports the position that much can be learned about the functional organization of the postural control system by studying the steady-state behavior of the human body during periods of undisturbed stance.

Rambling and trembling in quiet standing.

The data support the hypothesis that during quiet standing the body sways for two reasons: the migration of the reference point (rambling) and the deviation away from that point (trembling).
