Abstract
The single-link inverted pendulum model of human posture has been used by many investigators. Human subjects restrained to behave as a single-link showed ankle muscle EMG activity different from EMG activity typically reported during high velocity ankle rotation. Cutaneous reflexes appeared to play more significant role than the short latency myotatic reflex. It was not possible to model stance observed in this study as a single-variable control system.
