Loss of Peripheral Sensory Function Explains Much of the Increase in Postural Sway in Healthy Older Adults

Loss of Peripheral Sensory Function Explains Much of the Increase in Postural Sway in Healthy Older Adults

Postural sway increases with age and peripheral sensory disease. Whether, peripheral sensory function is related to postural sway independent of age in healthy adults is unclear. Here, we investigated the relationship between tests of visual function (VISFIELD), vestibular function (CANAL or OTOLITH...
