When maintaining postural stability temporally under increased sensory conflict, a more rigid response is used where the available degrees of freedom are essentially frozen. The current study investigated if such a strategy is also utilized during more dynamic situations of postural control as is the case with walking. This study attempted to answer this question by using the Locomotor Sensory Organization Test (LSOT). This apparatus incorporates SOT inspired perturbations of the visual and the somatosensory system. Ten healthy young adults performed the six conditions of the traditional SOT and the corresponding six conditions on the LSOT. The temporal structure of …

Doctoral Dissertations
The goal of this dissertation was to understand how people control posture in the context of sensory loss. To do so we explored three potential influences on the detection of external information and how they relate to the control of posture and perception of body orientation: 1) does changing posture alter the forces under the foot, and do these changes impact the ability to detect external vibrations? 2) Does decreasing the temperature of the foot influence the ability to detect external vibrations, the perception of body orientation, and the control of posture? And 3) does stochastic resonance (SR) improve the …
