Abstract
That postural reactions are associated with voluntary movement has probably been known in the medical field at least since Babinski’s observations (1899). Since that time, many kinesiologic studies have been carried out with the aim of describing the muscular patterns which underlay maintenance of a given posture, slow changes in posture, and movements performed at a significant speed. They have included segmental movements performed on a stable underpropping area, as well as gross movement involving body progression, such as gait. It has been observed that postural muscular activities can precede, accompany, and also follow intentional movement.
