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

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 …

The impact of the world-wide ageing population has commenced with respect to society in
developed countries. Several researchers focused on exploring new methods to improve the …

Many techniques have attempted to provide physical support to ease the execution of a
typing task by individuals with developmental disabilities (DD). These techniques have been …

Background Physical interactions between two people are ubiquitous in our daily lives, and
an integral part of many forms of rehabilitation. However, few studies have investigated …

Spontaneous synchrony emerges between individuals performing together rhythmic
activities while communicating by means of sensory feedback. In this study, we examined …

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

Principles from human-human physical interaction may be necessary to design more
intuitive and seamless robotic devices to aid human movement. Previous studies have …

Sway is reduced by light nonsupporting touch between parts of the body and a fixed surface.
This effect is assumed to reflect augmentation of sensory cues for sway by point-of-contact …

Deficit in balance control is a common and often an initial disabling symptom of multiple
sclerosis (MS). The purpose of this study was to investigate if a light finger touch contact with …
