Effects of supportive hand contact on reactive postural control during support perturbations

Effects of supportive hand contact on reactive postural control during support perturbations

Highlights • We emulated situations when balance of an individual is challenged. • Functional role of supportive hand contact during postural perturbation was examined. • Handle position does not affect the peak centre-of-mass displacement. • Handle position has a significant effect on maximal handl...
