The central nervous system processes this information in order to develop a body schema in relation to external surroundings and to provide the correct motor responses to keep the body’s center of gravity (COG) within the base of support. (BOS). During this interval, the central nervous system receives data from sensory receptors in order to detect inconsistencies between motor orders and responses and to change motor planning for more appropriate reactions. Constraining or altering these feelings can be used to assess and train postural stability. (e.g., with head movement, eyes closed, a narrow BOS, altered the proprioceptive feedback with unstable support surfaces). Injuries or disorders that compromise the vestibular system, the brain, or both may result in problems with balance and postural stability. Examples include stroke, Parkinson’s condition, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain damage, body weight, military blast exposure, and concussion brought on by sports.
