RPAs EXPLAINED [Part 2 FULL] | Vestibulospinal Reflex (VSR) & Hip Strategies

The video explores postural strategies, focusing on the hip strategy and its role in maintaining balance. It covers the anatomy of the vestibular system, including the semicircular canals and otolithic organs, and explains the vestibulospinal and vestibular colic reflexes. The hip strategy is detailed, highlighting its activation in narrow base support scenarios and its role in balance recovery through muscle activation.

Discuss the role of the vestibular cochlear nerve in balance.

How does the body respond to a posterior directed perturbation?

What are the key muscle groups involved in the hip strategy?

Explain the concept of ipsilateral activation in the context of lateral perturbations.
