It is already known that the brain structures as well as the function of individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) differs to typically developed individuals. But, how about the spinal cord of this population? Although it is complicated to infer function of spinal cord without invasive methods, we used the so called “Wackelkiste” to observe the muscular delay following a lateral perturbation, which is computed on spinal cord level. This study has been recently published on Frontiers of Psychology,  J. Walter Tolentino-Castro, A. Mühlbeier, L. Muchizuki and H. Wagner, 2018. We have shown no differences on muscular delay between ID participants and control group. Our study furthers the knowledge of postural control of ID individuals and shows the necessity to develop interventions to prevent falls. This paper also strengthens the cooperation between the Department of Movement Science in Münster and the School of Art, Sciences and Humanities at Universidade de São Paulo.
