文摘
- •
Effective ankle stiffness was measured during slow unperceived perturbations of stance.
- •
Mean effective ankle stiffness was significantly greater than mean load stiffness (m·g·h).
- •
Normalized effective ankle stiffness was inversely related to anterior–posterior body sway.
- •
In response to unperceived perturbation, the body simulates an inverted pendulum.
- •
“Reflex” ankle stiffness may determine the extent of natural sway in healthy adults.
