Postural adaptation of the spatial reference frames to microgravity: back to the egocentric reference frame.

BACKGROUND: In order to test how gravitational information would affect the choice of stable reference frame used to control posture and voluntary movement, we have analysed the forearm stabilisation during sit to stand movement under microgravity condition obtained during parabolic flights. In this...
