Abstract
The aim of the paper is to investigate the application of control schemes b ased on "internal models" to the stabilization of the standing posture. The computational complexities of the control problems are analyzed, showing t hat muscle stiffness alone is insufficient to carry out the task. The paper also re-visits the concept of the cerebellum as a Smith's predictor. (C) 1 999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
