Bipedal proprioceptive systems
Dynamic bipedal stance systems are often used for a global
type of proprioceptive control (postural destabilisation).
Proprioceptive control in static position (stabilometry) is
often altered in dynamic situations. The primary function of a
proprioceptive bipedal system is to understand and quantify
how the subject globally manages instability. In dynamic
postural control, the importance of the mutual interaction
by three systems is now consolidated: i.e. by the peripheral
(mechanoreceptors), by the intermediate (afferent vestibular)
and by the central system (afferent visual).
The most frequent applications for these types of devices
are: assessment and exercise of the global, total load
proprioceptive system, dynamic postural assessment.
