of inadvertent slips and falls . We examined the initiation of and recovery from foot slips among three age groups utilizing biomechanical parameters, muscle strength, and sensory measurements. Forty-two young ...
of falls among older adults. The investigation compared physiological stress, with biomechanical parameters of walking for twenty-eight participants in two age groups: (18-35) and (65 or older). Both age ...

defined biomechanical parameters of slips and falls . Twenty-eight subjects from two age groups (young and old) walked around a circular track at a comfortable pace wearing a safety harness. Slippery floor ...
for detection of the initial biomechanical cause of fall , and investigating the causation of 97 falls (out of 195 community dwelling older adults who participated in this study) based on this method ...
Humans’ balance recovery responses to gait perturbations are negatively impacted with ageing . Slip and trip events, the main causes preceding falls during walking, are likely to produce severe ...
BackgroundAn effective compensatory stepping response is the first line of defense for preventing a fall during sudden large external perturbations. The biomechanical factors that contribute ...
kinematics and control during normal walking and early slipping (up to 30% of the cycle) has little to no significant effect on the slip severity outcome, although aging has shown to be an important factor ...
Abstract Background This study examined whether reactive balance training (exposures to slips and trips) could improve balance recovery and reduce perturbation-induced falls among older adults ...
risk.ConclusionsComputer simulation techniques are useful for investigating the biomechanics of stair falls . Using our simulation model, we determined that stair characteristics have an effect on potential for lower ...
