Somatosensory receptors and peripheral nerve fibres are known to change over the course of healthy ageing. This project investigates how aging influences somatosensory reflex characteristics in active postural muscles during standing. In addition, this project investigates how ageing influences the spinal integration of muscle and cutaneous sensory feedback from the leg and foot during standing.
