DOI: 10.1007/s00221-017-5151-9
Abstract: The first exposure of a rapid displacement of a light touch reference induces an inappropriate balance corrective response during standing in a proportion of participants that is extinguished with repeated exposures. We hypothesized that if… read more here.

The effect of light touch on standing sway when the stability of the external touch reference becomes unreliable

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-018-5455-4
Abstract: Lightly touching a stable reference is associated with sway reduction during standing. Unexpected displacement of the touch reference results in a false-positive balance reaction in some participants, but only with the first such disturbance. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2017.e00484
Abstract: Balance control is essential for safe walking. Adding haptic input through light touch may improve walking balance; however, evidence is limited. This research investigated the effect of added haptic input through light touch in healthy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2016.12.027
Abstract: We hypothesized that standing on an unstable surface would increase the relevance of light touch to standing balance, such that unexpected displacement of a touch reference would result in more consistent expression of balance corrections,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/pm/pny015
Abstract: Objective To investigate if attention to additional sensory information from the fingertip can improve postural stability during pain, which is known to impair balance. Methods In 16 healthy volunteers, experimental pain was induced by intramuscular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00280.2021
Abstract: Light touch reduces sway during standing. Unexpected displacement of a light touch reference at the finger can produce rapid responses in ankle muscles when standing, suggesting cutaneous receptors in the hand are functionally coupled with… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2020.00122
Abstract: Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often behaviorally hyper-reactive to light touch, but it is unclear to what degree this arises from a fundamental sensory difference vs. higher order systems for attention or emotion… read more here.
