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

Active sensing systems are purposive and information-seeking sensory systems. Active
sensing usually entails sensor movement, but more fundamentally, it involves control of the …

Maintaining equilibrium is basically a sensorimotor integration task. The central nervous
system (CNS) continually and selectively weights and rapidly integrates sensory inputs from …

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

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 …

The contributions of somatosensory, vestibular, and visual feedback to balance control are
well documented, but the influence of auditory information, especially acoustic noise, on …

Auditory and somatosensory white noise can stabilize standing balance. However, the
differential effects of auditory and tactile noise stimulation on balance are unknown. Prior …

Fall prevention technologies have the potential to improve the lives of older adults. Because
of the multisensory nature of human balance control, sensory therapies, including some …

Functional motor redundancy enables humans to move with distinct muscle activation
patterns while achieving a similar outcome. Since humans select similar strategies, there …

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