Abstract
⺠We investigated whether stroke survivals use additional sensory information to reduce postural sway. ⺠Postural sway was assessed while participants lightly touched an external surface during standing. ⺠Participants touched the bar with their ipsilesional or contralesional index fingertip. ⺠Stroke individuals showed greater postural sway than healthy individuals and reduced it with the touch. ⺠The reduction was observed regardless of the side of the touch and the variability of the applied force.
