Feedforward postural control in individuals with multiple sclerosis during load release

Highlights ► Feedforward postural control is studied in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). ► Self-initiated load-release paradigm is used to perturb standing balance. ► Anticipatory postural adjustments are delayed and reduced in magnitude in MS. ► Mildly impaired individuals with MS demonstrate...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Feedforward postural control is studied in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). ► Self-initiated load-release paradigm is used to perturb standing balance. ► Anticipatory postural adjustments are delayed and reduced in magnitude in MS. ► Mildly impaired individuals with MS demonstrate early changes in postural control.
