This study quantifies young adults' perception thresholds for small platform perturbations during balancing and finds subthreshold perturbations affect balance performance.

This study shows that a mediolateral tilt board is an internally valid transfer task for stabilometer-based balance assessments, as it shares similar coordination structures and neuromuscular strategies.

This study validates measures of reactive balance training intensity by correlating perturbation magnitude with various physiological and perceptual metrics.

This study compares three reactive balance training schedules to determine their impact on balance recovery, finding no significant differences between groups.

This review assesses the accuracy of self-evaluation of upper-extremity motor performance compared to objective measures, finding moderate correlation and factors influencing accuracy.

This study examines the relationship between lower limb muscle strength and explosive force with timing phases of reactive stepping in young adults.

This study examines if increased gait variability improves stability before an expected perturbation, finding increased step width variability but no correlation with stability.

This study uses functional data analysis to show that larger perturbations increase lower limb muscle activation during reactive stepping compared to smaller perturbations.
