Postural control adjustments during progressive inclination of the support surface in children
Bibliographic record
Abstract
One of the most important postural challenges in daily life is to continuously correct the destabilizing torque due to gravity that accelerates the body further away from the upright position. This study examined children's (7.9 years old) (n=7) and adults' (n=10) capacity to generate continuous corrective torque during a progressive perturbation. The experimental task was to maintain an upright quiet standing on a platform that gradually and slowly toes-down tilted to a maximum of 14° without visual cues. The vertical forces applied on the platform and the electromyograms from the tibialis anterior and the gastrocnemius were measured. The results showed that children had a different postural response to the perturbation than adults. When the platform was stationary before the inclination, children shifted their body weight backward whereas adults had a more balanced distribution of their weight. During the inclination, children applied a stronger forward force, suggesting a larger postero-anterior displacement of their body weight. Muscular activities were higher in children for both the tibialis anterior and the gastrocnemius, and their tibialis anterior activation profile was different. In conclusion, this study showed that in children aged from 7 to 10 years old neuromuscular responses were not mature enough to generate continuous postural corrective torque in response to the perturbation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
