Upright stance maintenance under perturbed condition is a complex phenomenon in which the Central Nervous System(CNS) is engaged to regulate the balance preventing subject to fall. Many models of unperturbed stance are present in literature. However, the necessity to model balance maintenance in presence of external disturbance is still an open problem. In this paper, a new model representing the human balance maintenance under perturbed condition is presented. An adaptive sliding mode approach is used to model the action played by the CNS, the control parameters are then optimized in order to match real and simulated data. The trend of optimized parameters seems to reveal the development of different postural strategies throughout the experimental trials.

Abstract
Upright stance maintenance under perturbed condition is a complex phenomenon in which the Central Nervous System(CNS) is engaged to regulate the balance preventing subject to fall. Many models of unperturbed stance are present in literature. However, the necessity to model balance maintenance in presence of external disturbance is still an open problem. In this paper, a new model representing the human balance maintenance under perturbed condition is presented. An adaptive sliding mode approach is used to model the action played by the CNS, the control parameters are then optimized in order to match real and simulated data. The trend of optimized parameters seems to reveal the development of different postural strategies throughout the experimental trials.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
