Head posture control under perturbed conditions in progressive supranuclear palsy patients by Vittorio Lippi, Vittorio Lippi, Christoph Maurer, Christian Haverkamp, Christian Haverkamp, Stefan Kammermeier

“…With eyes open, the active proportional gain KP is relatively larger in all cases, indicating that the head is directed closer to the vertical by the visual contribution. Since this was held for all investigated groups, findings support the notion of intact visual contribution to posture control among PSP and IPD despite the impaired supranuclear eye guidance among PSP.DiscussionThe proposed neural model’s characteristics will aid in future patient data analysis, disease progression monitoring, and possible modulation of disease-specific features through therapeutic intervention. …”
