Abstract
Well-aimed experimental models are required to investigate the human motor system under physiological conditions such as stance and gait. With afferent inputs being necessary to appropriately modulate programmed patterns involved in the regulation of stance and gait, the relative contributions of known receptor systems are still a matter of controversy. These systems include the visual system (Dietz et al., 1979; Nashner and Berthoz, 1978, van Asten et al,. 1988), the vestibular system (Allum and Pfaltz, 1985) and muscle proprioceptive systems (Berger et al., 1984; Dietz, 1992; Dietz et al., 1987).
