Ageing reduces light touch and vibrotactile sensitivity on the anterior lower leg and foot dorsum

Cutaneous mechanoreceptors in the anterior lower leg and foot dorsum provide important information about contact with objects and movement at the knee and ankle. This cutaneous feedback contributes to static and dynamic balance control. We conducted experiment 1 to determine the effects of ageing on...
