Abstract

Bipedal standing and bipedal walking are the most characteristic posture and movement of humans. The human obtained current cultures and civilizations by evolving into bipedal standing. The central nervous system evolved to adapt to bipedal standing too. One of the characteristics of the standing position is the narrow base of support and high COM. Therefore, the maintenance of the stability of the standing position requires the activity of the central nervous system. This paper describes the components of bipedal standing and how to observe the standing position.
