Although the ability to recover balance in the lateral direction has important implications with regard to fall risk in older adults, the effect of visual input on balance recovery in response to …
Falls in older adults are leading causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries, negatively impacting quality of life among those in this demographic. Most elderly falls occur due to …
Motorized treadmills have been extensively used in investigating reactive balance control and developing perturbation-based interventions for fall prevention. However, the …
Arm motions reduce the likelihood of falling from a slip in young adults, and injuries to older adults from falls are known to occur from a frontal plane fall. Therefore, the purpose of this …
Motorized treadmills have been widely used to examine the reactive balance control of the human body after an external perturbation, like slips or trips, and develop perturbation …
Substantial evidence demonstrates that falls in older adults are leading causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries and lead to negative impacts on quality of life in the aging population. Most …
Abstract Within the United States the rate of falls within occupational settings presents a serious health and safety concern for workers. Previous studies have analyzed the …
