Characteristics of step responses following varying magnitudes of unexpected lateral perturbations during standing among older people – a cross-sectional laboratory-based study

Abstract Introduction The inability to recover from unexpected lateral loss of balance may be particularly relevant to the problem of falling. Aim We aimed to explore whether different kinematic patterns and strategies occur in the first recovery step in single-step trials in which a single step was...
