Abstract

We developed a sagittal plane head movement model to explore the neural mechanisms involved in maintaining normal head posture against gravity, and during perturbations of the trunk. The homeomorphic design of the model allowed us to predict effects of vestibular and proprioceptive control of neck muscles. We found that both types of control can produce equivalent stabilization. We speculate that this redundancy allows compensation for pathologies.
