Fingertip-Coupled Spindle Signaling Does Not Contribute to Reduce Postural Sway Under Light Touch

The details of how light touch (LT) of a stable surface reduces postural sway are still not well known. We hypothesized that removal of feedback provided by muscle afferents of the touching fingertip would increase postural sway in standing subjects. Eleven participants stood upright on a force plat...
