Abstract
If the postural set is altered by changing the habitual balance of the head during a movement performed against gravity, the subjective feeling of weight can be markedly reduced. For the movement from sitting-to-standing an objective record of force distribution corresponding to the differences in feeling tone reported by S has been obtained with a strain-gauge force platform. The force platform appears well adapted for studying the relation between postural set and overt movement.Keywords
