Evaluation of age-related differences in the stride-to-stride fluctuations, regularity and symmetry of gait using a waist-mounted tri-axial accelerometer
Purpose To compare the stride-to-stride fluctuations, regularity and symmetry of gait using a
body-fixed accelerometer in a group of healthy young and healthy older adults. Methods …

Effects of aging on hip abductor-adductor neuromuscular and mechanical performance during the weight transfer phase of lateral protective stepping
M Inacio, R Creath, MW Rogers - Journal of biomechanics, 2019 - Elsevier
Aging brings about challenges in the ability to recover balance through protective stepping,
especially in the lateral direction. Previous work has suggested that lateral protective …

Aging and the recovery of postural stability from taking a step
MC Kilby, SM Slobounov, KM Newell - Gait & Posture, 2014 - Elsevier
The study examined the effect of aging adults (young: 18-26 years vs. old: 66-73 years) on
the recovery of postural stability from taking a single volitional step that varied in direction …
