Abstract
By analyzing the movements of quiet standing persons by means of wavelet st
atistics, we observe multiple scaling regions in the underlying body dynami
cs. The use of the wavelet-variance function opens the possibility to relat
e scaling violations to different modes of posture control. We show that sc
aling behavior becomes close to perfect, when correctional movements are do
minated by the vestibular system.
