Article Synopsis
- Humans must adapt to sensory delays in their body to perform motor skills like standing upright, which can vary throughout life.
- A study using a robotic simulator showed that when participants practiced balancing with delays, they initially struggled but improved their balance by stabilizing their movements, even transferring these skills to other directions.
- After training, when returning to normal standing, participants exhibited slight oscillations in their control but maintained balance, demonstrating that practice with one part of the body (like hands) can enhance stability in other areas (like legs).
