A model of postural control in quiet standing: robust compensation of delay-induced instability using intermittent activation of feedback control.

The main purpose of this study is to compare two different feedback controllers for the stabilization of quiet standing in humans, taking into account that the intrinsic ankle stiffness is insufficient and that there is a large delay inducing instability in the feedback loop: 1) a standard linear, c...
