The contribution of peripheral visual information to visuospatial mapping prior to movement initiation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-15)Compensatory balance reactions impose tight temporal constraints to motor responses employed to re–capture stability. Vision is particularly important for compensatory reach–to–grasp reactions as locations of hand hold ... -
Cortical Activity Associated With Changes in Sensory Contributions During Standing Balance Control
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-28)Maintenance of safe upright static stance regardless of sensory input is imperative for completing activities of daily living required for high quality of life. The current body of work aims to the potential involvement ... -
Negotiating Varying Ground Terrain during Locomotion: Insights into the Role of Vision and the Effects of Aging
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-18)We continually encounter different ground terrain such as slippery, compliant, uneven, rocky, and irregular terrain when walking, yet we know very little about how individuals safely negotiate this type of complex environment. ... -
Role of visual information during stair locomotion
(University of Waterloo, 2011-03-30)Vision provides relevant information for safe locomotion in a variety of environments. During stair locomotion visual information may be important to detect step boundaries, transitions between ground level and stairs, ... -
Visual determinants of postural control and perception during physical and visual motion
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-30)The control of balance and posture is a critical task of daily life to limit the risk of falls and potential injury. In order to be successful in the control of balance the central nervous system utilizes sensory feedback ... -
VISUAL INPUTS AND MOTOR OUTPUTS AS INDIVIDUALS WALK THROUGH DYNAMICALLY CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Walking around in dynamically changing environments require the integration of three of our sensory systems: visual, vestibular, and kinesethic. Vision is the only modality of these three sensory systems that provides ...
