Aufrechtes Stehen und Gehen sind bei Gesundheit so selbstverständliche
Fähigkeiten, dass sie nebenbei gelingen. Im Fall von Erkrankungen
verdeutlicht sich die Komplexität der Haltungskontrolle. Dieser Beitrag
zeigt, welche Aspekte für Gleichgewicht und Gang wichtig sind. Das
Verständnis dafür, was im Einzelfall gestört ist, bildet
die Voraussetzung für eine gezielte und erfolgreiche Therapie.
