Lateral stability during stepping is critical to successful balance recovery, and has been previously studied from a kinematics perspective. However, relatively little is known about the kinetic aspects of lateral stability. The purpose of this paper is to investigate age-related changes in laterally directed landing phase ground and joint reactions during a balance-restoring step response. 12 young...
The current study was undertaken to determine if age-related differences in muscle activities might relate to older adults being significantly less able than young adults to recover balance during a forward fall. Fourteen young and twelve older healthy males were released from forward leans of various magnitudes and asked to regain standing balance by taking a single forward step. Myoelectric signals...
