Improving postural control and walking capacity is critical for the quality of life in older adults, yet current interventions often overlook proprioception deficits. This study aims to enhance proprioception using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to improve posture and gait in older adults. It tests two hypotheses: TENS can improve postural control without visual feedback by activating proprioceptors, and these improvements are linked to spinal and corticospinal adaptations. Key Interventions: The study includes two projects: evaluating TENS impact on proprioception, posture, and gait; and using force steadiness to diagnose neurological disorders and correlate with postural sway, walking, and manual dexterity.
