Which part of the brain controls posture and balance of the body?

The cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for maintaining posture, balance, coordination, and the smooth execution of voluntary muscle movements. Located at the back of the brain beneath the cerebrum, it receives information from the muscles, joints, inner ear, and sensory systems to coordinate body movements. Damage to the cerebellum can lead to poor balance, unsteady walking, loss of coordination, and difficulty performing precise motor activities.
