What is the contribution of voluntary and reflex processes to sensorimotor control of balance?
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 The contribution to balance of spinal and transcortical processes including the long-latency reflex is well known. The control of balance has been modelled previously as a continuous, state feedback controller representing, long-latency reflexes. However,
