Is postural control cognition?

Both disciplines (movement science and psychology) talk about plasticity, compensation, having some form of reserve, accumulated damage.

(a thread)

When talking about plasticity and compensation, both disciplines describe ways in which to find new path ways, to reweigh information sources and maybe even having a larger choice of pathways or connections to begin with when talking about reserve.

Both lead to function or functional decline. One in movement and one in thought (?). In Physiotherapy we describe movement as a behaviour. I'm imagining that in psychology, expression of cognition also is a behaviour or that behaviour is regulated by cognition.

So.. is postural control a form of cognition? Or are cognition and postural control both (the same type) of regulators/mediators for (different types of) behaviours?
