Effects of foot–ground friction and age-related gait changes on falls during walking: a computational study using a neuromusculoskeletal model

Abstract We used a neuromusculoskeletal model of bipedal walking to examine the effects of foot–ground friction conditions and gait patterns on slip- and trip-induced falls. We developed three two-dimensional neuro-musculoskeletal models in a self-organized manner representing young adults, elderly...
