DOI: 10.1080/00016489.2018.1488084
Abstract: Abstract Background: Diminished foot somatosensation contributes to balance deficits and increased fall risk. However, it remains unclear if the 256-Hz tuning fork is adequate to measure, in the outpatient clinical setting, somatosensation in relatively healthy… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.810079
Abstract: Stochastic resonance has been successfully used to improve human movement when using subthreshold vibration. Recent work has shown promise in improving mobility in individuals with unilateral lower limb amputations. Furthering this work, we present an… read more here.
