| Research Abstract |
The effect of the act of wiggling one's body on posture control was studied. The change of strategy for posture control after the therapeutic wiggling movement (wiggling one's body by a physical therapist, or by oneself) was compared with the strategy after an ordinal strength training for outer muscles in terms of the sway in quiet standing. The results showed that the wiggling movement seemed to facilitate one's perception to his/her body by dynamic touch, and change the posture control strategy from static to dynamic.
