Title: The Impact of Altered Visual Input and Auditory Stimulations on Balance and Postural Stability
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Bunn , Exercise Science

Impaired vision tends to increase the risk of falling because one cannot adequately rely on visual feedback to maintain balance and posture. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects that visual and auditory inputs have on balance and postural stability.
