An inability to recover lateral balance with a single step is predictive of future falls in older adults. This study investigated if balance stability at first step lift-off (FSLO) would be different between multiple and single stepping responses to lateral perturbations. 54 healthy older adults received left and right waist-pulls at 5 different intensities (levels 1–5). Crossover stepping responses...
When balance is disturbed, location of the center of pressure (COP) contributes to a person’s ability to recover from a perturbation. This study investigated COP control prior to first step lift-off (FSLO) during lateral perturbations in older non-fallers and fallers. 38 non-fallers and 16 fallers received lateral waist-pulls at 5 different intensities. Crossover stepping responses at the intensity...
