AbstractObjective: To establish the forward reach distance values in six different sensory conditions for neurologically intact adults. In addition, we intended to compare the forward reach distance value of sensory accurate condition with sensory inaccurate conditions in neurologically intact adults. Participants: One hundred and fifty community dwelling, healthy subjects aged between 20 and 50 years participated in the study. Measures: Functional Reach Test (FRT). Results: Descriptive statistics was used to find the forward reach distance values under six different sensory conditions. We found a decline in the forward reach distance values as the somatosensory and visual inputs were inaccurate. Conclusion: In neurologically intact adults, the dynamic stance postural control is dependent on the interaction of the somatosensory, visual and vestibular systems.
