| Abstract(in English) | Somatosensory information from miniscule force applied to the fingertips (referred to as light touch contact, or LTC) is known to help mitigate body sway. However, the question of exactly how information from the fingertips contributes to postural control strategy remains unclear. Based on the knowledge that subjects with high perceptual ability for joint positioning are readily able to maintain a stable standing posture, this study involved experimentation to evaluate the relationships between fingertip stimulation and perceptual precision in regard to the fingertips. The results obtained from four subjects supported the new hypothesis that perception of joint positioning changes when tactile stimulation is applied to the fingertips, and that applying stimulation helps to improve human perceptual abilities. |
