OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether a light finger touch can compensate for the increased postural sway induced by @entity6250 . DESIGN: Before-after trials. SETTING: General community. @entity1 : Nine healthy university students (mean age, 23.8+/-2.6y; mean body weight, 72.7+/-6.9 kg; mean height, 177.2+/-7.5 cm). INTERVENTIONS: @entity1 stood with their feet together and eyes closed. They were asked to sway as little as possible in 4 conditions: no @entity1295 /no touch, no @entity1295 /touch, @entity1295 /no touch, and @entity1295 /touch. @entity291 muscle @entity1295 was induced by having @entity1 stand on their toes until exhaustion. Touch conditions involved a gentle light touch with the right index finger on a nearby surface at waist height. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Center of pressure displacements were recorded by using a force platform. RESULTS: Light finger touch resulted in decreased postural sway in the no- @entity1295 and @entity1295 conditions. Interestingly, this stabilizing effect was more accentuated in the @entity1295 . CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that the contribution of the haptic cues from the finger for regulating postural sway increases after muscular @entity1295 . These findings could have implications in clinical and rehabilitative areas.
