He began each swing almost daintily, laying his bat down against the outside edge of the plate, using his left, or bottom, hand, to mark his territory before assuming the ready stance — wide, upright, half cocked — that instills fear in so many pitchers.
Therefore, these subjects had greater difficulty in keeping their forearm horizontal while shifting from the sitting position to upright stance via a forward leaning movement.
With respect to control subjects (with or without VH), the variance of speed of the center of pressure was higher, suggesting more energy was needed to stabilize their posture in quiet upright stance.
Posture control in upright stance was quantized by a baropodometric platform (FDM-S, Zebris, Germany) [ 27, 28].
In nonspecific chronic LBP subjects, the results showed that: cancellation of VH with a prism improved postural performance; their spontaneous postural control required more energy to stabilize their posture in the quiet upright stance compared to healthy subjects (with or without VH).
Similar to the Upright Stance posture, the SEM values for Thorax Y angle still suggest clinical utility.
During quiet upright stance, visual stabilization of posture decreases when the target fixation distance increases, which is attributed to decreased angular size of retinal slip induced by body sway [85] [88] and ocular motor signals from the converging eyes involved at a close distance [74], [75].
The Eurasian eagle-owl rarely assumes the so-called "tall-thin position", which is when an owl adopts an upright stance with plumage closely compressed and may stand tightly beside a tree trunk.
Eyes aglow, amazingly focused at the audience, she sets out a movement motif later used by the ensemble: a low-slung position, leg extended, leads into a plié and an upright stance, feet apart.
The standing position has not been tested previously in young people with cerebral palsy but was chosen because the hip extensors are known to be important for gait and for the maintenance of upright stance, and therefore was a functionally relevant position to test.
