Haptic information provided by anchors and the presence of cognitive tasks contribute separately to reducing postural sway in young adults

RA Batistela, A Oates, R Moraes - Gait & Posture, 2019 - Elsevier
Background Haptic information provided by the anchors reduces postural sway while
standing upright. It is unclear whether this benefit would remain in the presence of cognitive …
