Characteristics of postural control during fixed light-touch and interpersonal light-touch contact and the involvement of interpersonal postural coordination

T Ishigaki, N Yamamichi, K Ueta, S Morioka - Human Movement Science, 2022 - Elsevier
Haptic feedback by light touch with a fingertip influences the postural control of the human
body by postural orientation. Postural control might therefore differ depending on the …

Voluntarily controlled but not merely observed visual feedback affects postural sway

S Imaizumi, T Asai, K Hiromitsu, H Imamizu - PeerJ, 2018 - peerj.com
Online stabilization of human standing posture utilizes multisensory afferences (eg, vision).
Whereas visual feedback of spontaneous postural sway can stabilize postural control …
