Abstract: Fear of falling increases conscious control of balance and postural threat warrants accurate anticipatory motor commands for keeping a safe body posture. This study examines the anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments generated in… read more here.

Abstract: Height-induced postural threat influences standing balance control. However, it is unknown if minimizing individuals’ emotional response to threat moderates this relationship. This study repeatedly exposed individuals to height-induced postural threat to determine if reducing the… read more here.

Abstract: Cortical excitability increases during the performance of more difficult postural tasks. However, it is possible that changes in postural threat associated with more difficult tasks may in themselves lead to alterations in the neural strategies… read more here.
