Directional acuity of whole-body perturbations during standing balance

•We measured directional acuity of whole-body motion during standing in healthy, young adults.•The directional acuity threshold was about 10° for backward support-surface translations.•An adaptive method requiring fewer trials (∼35 vs. 99) identified similar thresholds.•Computational modeling reveal...
