Light touch contribution to balance in normal bipedal stance.

abstract：:Interlateral transfer of learning between the legs in body balance training is a topic of theoretical and practical interest, but it has been left untouched in previous research. In this investigation, we aimed to evaluate the magnitude and asymmetry of interlateral transfer of balance stability following the practice...

abstract：:Several recent studies indicate that saccades elicited in the absence of a visual target are slower than visually-guided movements of the same size. In addition, we have shown earlier that the slower saccades observed in two different paradigms had more asymmetrical (skewed) velocity profiles. Recently, it has been re...
