Modulation of stretch reflex excitability with postural sway in the frontal plane

The stretch reflex response helps control upright stance by countering the effects of gravity. It has been suggested that sway in the sagittal or anterior-posterior (AP) plane contributes to the modulation of the reflex response; this thesis sought to examine if a similar relationship could be disc...
