Effect of plantar desensitization on postural adjustments prior to step initiation

Highlights ► Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) could be affected by plantar sensitivity. ► The APAs for step initiation under four plantar desensitization levels were examined. ► Changes in the mediolateral control of APAs were related to desensitization level. ► Visual inputs did not alter t...

Summary:Highlights ► Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) could be affected by plantar sensitivity. ► The APAs for step initiation under four plantar desensitization levels were examined. ► Changes in the mediolateral control of APAs were related to desensitization level. ► Visual inputs did not alter the effect of desensitization on the APAs.
