Among the sensory information allowing to control postural balance, we have focused our research on Light Touch. Indeed, it has been shown that lightly touching a motionless surface, provides additional sensory information that improves balance. Interestingly, when the surface is moved slowly, a coupling appears between its motion and postural sway. We have investigated the mechanisms underlying this coupling. Based on our findings, we implemented a closed-loop control law, based on the modulation of the finger velocity, which allows to control the position of the center of pressure around a pre-defined trajectory. We also studied the experimental conditions that could influence the performance of the closed loop (instruction, awareness of ...
