Directional aspects of balance corrections in man.

Directional aspects of balance corrections in man.

This article attempts to highlight the new insights into balance control that have been gained by using multidirectional perturbations and to demonstrate how this new focus enables a better understanding of how the central nervous system (CNS) malfunctions in patients with balance disorders. Multidi...
