Equilibrium during static and dynamic tasks in blind subjects: no evidence of cross-modal plasticity
2007

Can visual information be replaced by other sensory information in the control of static and dynamic equilibrium? We investigated the balancing behaviour of acquired and congenitally blind subjects (25 severe visually impaired subjectsç15 males and 10 females, mean age 36 AE13.5 SD) and age and gender-matched normal subjects under static and dynamic conditions. During quiet stance, the centre of foot pressure displacement was recorded and body sway analysed. Under dynamic conditions, subjects
