Bicycle Rider Control: a Balancing Act

Study postural control position in relation to anthropometric and postural Indicators of Active Persons

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate postural control position in relation to anthropometric and postural Indicators of Active Persons. Methods: The statistical population of the present study was active Persons (mean age: 21.15 ± 2.02 years, height: 1.78 ± 0.07 cm, weight: 71/50 ± 10.15 kg, BMI: 22.45 ± 2.53 kg / m2) University of Guilan were in the academic year of 97-98. ...

Control for an Autonomous Bicycle

The control of nonholonomic and underactuated systems with symmetry is illustrated by the problem of controlling a bicycle. We derive a controller which, using steering and rear-wheel torque, causes a model of a riderless bicycle to recover its balance from a near fall as well as converge to a time parameterized path in the ground plane. Our construction utilizes new results for both the deriva...

A Systematic Perspective of Postural Control

Maintaining a multi-jointed inverted pendulum in vertical position is an extremely challenging engineering problem. However, most healthy individuals not only can stand upright with ease, they can maintain stability during motion and under some perturbations. Many studies have shown that postural control involves very complicated interactions between many subsystems – i.e. sensory, neural, moto...

Comparison of Postural Control and Motor Control in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis and Healthy Subjects: A Short Report

Background and Objectives: Idiopathic scoliosis is one of the most common abnormalities in adolescents which can result in impaired postural and motor control. Therefore, the present study compared the postural and motor control in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and healthy subjects. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, out of 79 patients referred to Tehran Rehabilitation ...
