“…However, some authors explained postural instability by other impairments (Montes et al, 2007; Nardone, Galante, Lucas, & Schieppati, 2001), such as spasticity, contribution of the extrapyramidal system, a decreased ability to use the vestibular system, or a preferred use of visual cues (Pradat et al, 2009; D’Ascenzo et al, 2012; Sanjak et al, 2014). Other evidence for an impaired vestibular system stems from electronystagmographic findings in ALS patients (Steinmetz, Lebo, & Norris, 1974; Ohki et al, 1994). However, the contribution of the different sensorimotor systems and their central processing to postural instability has not been identifiedyet.…”
