The inability to produce efficient APAs and CPAs during perturbations may explain the high rates of postural instability and falls in patients with MS. Findings from this study provide a background for the development of perturbation-based training programs aimed at balance improvement and fall prevention by restoring mechanisms underlying balance impairments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
