Impact of Emotional State on Autonomic and Somatic Nervous System Engagement in Postural Control

Azizul Haque

The coordination of postural control involves a complex interplay between the autonomic and somatic nervous systems, which regulate physiological responses and muscular adjustments to maintain equilibrium. This review examines the roles of the autonomic and somatic nervous systems in postural control, focusing on their contributions to stability, adaptability, and overall body orientation . The autonomic nervous system, comprising the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, dynamically regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory patterns in response to postural changes. Sympathetic activation often accompanies postural challenges, ensuring adequate blood supply to vital organs. Parasympathetic activity, on the other hand, promotes relaxation and a baseline state of equilibrium. Interaction between autonomic branches influences cardiac pre-ejection periods and vasomotor adjustments, impacting postural stability.
