Sensory reweighting for postural stability in individuals with low vision and blindness: balance adaptation and muscle co-contraction
Blind individuals rely primarily on somatosensory input for sensory reweighting, while those with low vision show impaired compensation due to residual vision, resulting in the most impaired postural control. Ankle muscle co-contraction serves as the primary strategy for maintaining postural stability in visually impaired individuals.
