Maintenance of postural equilibrium is an integrated process requiring optimal muscular balance, joint dynamics, and neuromuscular efficiency using visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive inputs.
Explanation:
Maintaining postural equilibrium involves multiple parts of the body, and can be divided in two levels of control: the first one being on the brainstem, the cerebellum and the spinal cord; and the second one including cortical areas that participate in multisensory integration and control as well as the basal ganglia located in the cerebrum.
