Dynamic ankle stiffness during upright standing

Studies of upright stance commonly model its biomechanics as an inverted pendulum, defining an overall postural stiffness, generated by the ankle joints, needed to overcome gravity's destabilizing effects. This model assumes symmetric left and right ankle stiffness, fixed throughout upright sta...
