Abstract
Human upright postural control is highly related to visual information. In order to explore the influence of visual feedback on static upright postural control, postural sway of eight healthy young adults was investigated under visual feedback circumstances. In the investigation, postural feedback information was visualized by an indicator composed of a movable spot and a stationary circle, and in addition to Shannon entropy analysis, time domain and frequency domain analyses were employed to inspect postural control adjustment. The experiment results indicate that even though indicator scale changes do not induce significant postural differences in time domain and random characteristics, reduction of the visual feedback indicator scale inspires a postural power shift to higher frequencies. In addition, this reduction also induces a fall-after-rise pattern of postural energy distribution in the frequency range of 0.5–1 Hz.
