Elderly fallers enhance dynamic stability through anticipatory postural adjustments during a choice stepping reaction time

In the case of disequilibrium, the capacity to step quickly is critical to avoid falling for elderly. This capacity can be simply assessed through the choice stepping reaction time test (CSRT), where elderly fallers (F) take longer to step than elderly non-fallers (NF). However, reasons why elderly...
