Compliant support surfaces affect sensory reweighting during balance control

We can conclude that when balance control is trained using foam mats, two different effects should be kept in mind. An increase in SS compliance has a known effect causing larger SS rotations and therefore greater down weighting of proprioceptive information. However, SS compliance itself influences the sensitivity of sensory reweighting to changes in SS rotation amplitude with relatively less reweighting occurring on more compliant surfaces as SS amplitude changes.
