Evidence suggests that whole-body angular momentum (WBAM) is a highly controlled
mechanical variable for performing our daily motor activities safely and efficiently. Recent
findings have revealed that, compared to young adults, older adults exhibit larger range of
WBAM during various motor tasks, such as walking and stepping. However, it remains
unclear whether these age-related changes are ascribed to a poorer control of WBAM with
age or not. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of normal aging on …
