UNDERSTANDING BALANCE. THE MECHANICS OF POSTURE AND LOC

This book sets out to explain in detail how it comes about that an animal or a person is able to stand up and move about without falling over. The nature of the problem is spelled out, together with the application of Newtonian mechanics to objects in the real world. By taking a fresh look at established information brought together from a variety of sources, the author builds up a new concept of the detailed neural processes by which the central nervous system actually carries out it co-ordinating function.
