Abstract

In the last decade, the number of postural studies in humans, in particular on deficits in postural control in patients, has increased. In the present article, we review studies on postural control with a particular focus on the role of foot and visual inputs in a quiet postural stance. A search and synthesis of articles identified through the electronic databases Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO, PubMed, and ResearchGate published until 2021 was performed. The aim of this review is to provide reference values for further studies dealing with postural control in both healthy and pathologic subjects and to encourage the development of suitable protocols that take into account the specificity of the different systems responsible for controlling human balance.
