| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) of gait initiation (GI) permit first step execution. APAs are characterized by a structured pattern of soleus (SOL) inhibition followed by tibialis anterior (TA) activation. This pattern shows variability among young adults where SOL is not always inhibited before TA activation. Initial posture preceding GI could explain a part of this variability. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of natural trunk inclination on APAs during GI. METHODS: Two groups of twelve subjects divided by natural trunk inclination angle performed five gait initiation trials. A regression model was computed to predict SOL inhibition and TA activation. RESULTS: Backward leaners showed less SOL inhibition in stance leg (25.8% of trials) compared to forward leaners (55.6% of trials). Regression model revealed that high tonic EMG activity in SOL in the stance leg is the variable that best explains SOL inhibition variation within trials but not TA activation. CONCLUSION: Slight variations in APAs are due to natural trunk inclination but more contribution in APAs is due to initial posture, future step speed and initial tonic soleus activity. Absence of SOL inhibition could be in part explained by natural trunk inclination, where the backward inclination leads to lower tonic SOL activity in quiet standing. These effects could be due to inherent and functional variability, which depend on postural variation, muscular coordination and limb roles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
