| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to elucidate postural control abilities to adapt against sensory conflicts induced by a foam rubber mat under the unilateral foot or Stroop task. The healthy subjects and ambulatory individuals with hemiparesis who are living at home could manage the proprioceptive conflict from the unilateral foot within three sessions of standing trials with closed eyes and the improvement ratio of COP regulations correlated with the Romberg quotients in the first standing trial. Changes of postural characteristics induced by a concurrent cognitive task showed different patterns according to the side of the lesion. The relationship between the postural measures and clinical indices for hemiparetic patients may be explained by a combination of compensatory postural control mechanisms and neural interference from the color-naming task.
