For most individuals, balancing upright is a simple task that requires little effort. The inherent
difficulties associated with standing balance are not revealed until a pathology or injury …

Abstract In the Sound-Induced Flash Illusion (SIFI) sound dramatically alters visual
perception, as presenting a single flash with two beeps results in the perception of two …

Importance Hearing impairment, a common treatable condition, may contribute to poorer
physical function with aging. Objective To assess whether hearing impairment is associated …

Recent epidemiological findings of associations between hearing loss (HL) and poorer
mobility and higher falls risk have increased the demand for ecologically valid experimental …

Numerous studies have demonstrated the real-time use of visual, vibrotactile, auditory, and
multimodal sensory augmentation technologies for reducing postural sway during static …

Standing balance relies on the integration of multiple sensory inputs to generate the motor
commands required to stand. Mechanical and sensory perturbations elicit compensatory …

Although there is some evidence suggesting that audiovisual integration is inefficient in
older adults, and that such inefficiency is associated with age-related functions such as mild …

Background Multisensory integration is the ability to appropriately merge information from
different senses for the purpose of perceiving and acting in the environment. During walking …

Background Although hearing impairment (HI) is linked to poorer physical functioning, the
longitudinal associations between HI and higher-level functional measures are unclear …

Multisensory integration is essential for the quick and accurate perception of our
environment, particularly in everyday tasks like speech perception. Research has …
