Research summary
AI-generated

Leif P. Madsen studies how the nervous system controls balance and movement, focusing especially on people with chronic ankle instability (an ongoing 'giving way' of the ankle after injury). The work examines reflexes triggered by skin stimulation during walking and side-stepping, and how these relate to a person's sense of instability. Some studies also explore treatments such as surgery and stochastic resonance (adding low-level noise stimulation to improve sensory function).
