Discussion

Participants maintained balance despite 250 ms sensorimotor delays, suggesting adaptability in balance control.

Participants adapted to sensorimotor delays, maintaining balance and showing increased muscle activation.
Exposure to a 250 ms delay elicited changes in motor commands, yet no postural instability was observed.
Increased sensorimotor gains were necessary for adapting balance control, as per the computational model.
Transient increases in muscle activity after delay removal indicate enhanced sensitivity to sensory feedback.

Foulger et al. (2025) studied this question.
