This study tests the effect of different exoskeleton torque levels on balance during perturbations, finding that higher torque does not always improve balance and may even hinder it in some individuals.

The paper decomposes reactive joint torques during balance recovery into feedforward and feedback components using a modified sensorimotor response model.

The paper uses a neuromechanical model to decompose muscle activity into brainstem and cortical components during balance perturbations, showing increased cortical involvement with age and Parkinson's disease.

The paper investigates how cortical contributions to balance recovery increase with task difficulty using neuromechanical modeling of muscle activity and EEG data.
