Changes in postural strategy of the lower limb under mechanical knee constraint on an unsteady stance surface.

Joint constraint could limit the available degrees of freedom in a kinematic chain for maintaining postural stability. This study investigated adaptive changes in postural synergy due to bracing of bilateral knee joints, usually thought to have a trifling impact on upright stance. Twenty-four young...
