TL;DR: There is a relation between balance improvement and the facilitation of sensory feedback related to the activation of the plantar cutaneous mechanoreceptors that may have therapeutic benefits in relation to fall prevention, or to improve specific types of chronic pain.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the lowest TUT could contribute to changing balance control, and may have clinical interest, and bring perspectives in the management of patients with risk of falling or with chronic pain syndromes, complementing validated therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: An improvement of body balance through spatial parameters with sensory cutaneous stimulation applied under the great toe bilaterally were observed in patients with FM, bringing new clinical perspectives in the development of intervention strategies in the management of patients withFM and balance disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of an additional thickness placed under the toes (TUT) on the CoP measures and to determine the optimum thickness required to maximize the postural control performance was evaluated.

TL;DR: A clinical objectification of these kinematic adaptations at the lumbar spine level would clarify the aetiological diagnosis causes of chronic LBP, and so help optimising therapeutic strategies by proposing a relevant and precise clinical model of this painful condition.
