The aim of the present review was to examine the experimental, case-control studies that
investigated the effect of light touch on postural sway in individuals with balance problems …

Sensory information about body sway is used to drive corrective muscle action to keep the
body's centre of mass located over the base of support provided by the feet. Loss of vision …

Maintaining balance standing upright is an active process that complements the stabilizing
properties of muscle stiffness with feedback control driven by independent sensory …

To examine the age-related deterioration in postural control, we investigated the association
between postural sway during quiet standing and either amplitude of physiological tremor or …

We addressed postural instability during stance with eyes closed (EC) on a compliant
surface in healthy young people. Spectral analysis of the centre of foot pressure oscillations …

Although several studies have described kinematic deviations such as excessive hip
adduction in patients with iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome, the factors contributing to increased …

Visual and somatosensory signals participate together in providing an estimate of the hand's
spatial location. While the ability of subjects to identify the spatial location of their hand …

Background Haptic control is a useful therapeutic option in rehabilitation featuring virtual
reality interaction. As with visual and vibrotactile biofeedback, kinesthetic haptic feedback …

Background Geriatric rehabilitation reimbursement increasingly requires documented
deficits on standardized measures. Tandem stance performance can characterize balance …

This paper presents a twin dual-axis robotic platform system which is designed for the
characterization of postural balance under various environmental conditions and …
