Brief description of study
The purpose of the study is to explore how visual input impacts the neural mechanisms at the spinal level relating to posture during quiet standing. It is known that static visual input (for example eyes open vs eyes closed) can impact the magnitude of the spinal reflexes. It is also known that visual input can have an impact on the amount of postural sway an individual demonstrates. In this study, we will examine the effect of a dynamic (changing) visual stimulus on both postural sway and spinal reflex activity during quiet standing.
