Effect of experimentally reduced distal sensation on postural response to hip abductor/ankle evertor muscle vibration

Highlights • Distal sensation was experimentally reduced through cooling. • Postural responses to vibratory perturbations were recorded (3D motion/force plate). • Cooling produced a decrease in pelvic tilt in response to ankle vibration. • Cooling produced an increase in pelvic tilt in response to hip vibration. • Suggests that with distal sensory loss reweighting of sensory information occurs.
