| Research Abstract |
With the aim of understanding about neural control strategy for human quiet standing, we conducted metering experiment of postural sway for healthy subject and Parkinson's disease patient, and mathematical simulation of human model. We clarifid that hip joint is moving during quiet standing posture from the metering experiment for healthy subject, and the hip motion plays an important role to keep the quiet standing posture from the mathematical simulation. By comparison in dynamics of healthy subject and Parkinson's disease patient during standing posture, it is indicated that destabilization of standing posture of Parkinson's disease patient arise from crash of flexible control mechanism which is shown in healthy subject.
