Posture is maintained through the central nervous system’s dynamic control of the musculoskeletal system1. Postural perception is multisensory, depending on the integration of visual, auditory and somatosensory inputs into a unified perceptual model2. The way in which these sensory inputs interact – either competing with or facilitating³ a particular response – as well as our ability to intervene in this process, particularly in situations of sensory conflict, form the basis for assessing the risk of falls using posturography⁴, as well as for postural rehabilitation.
