Age-related changes in muscle coordination patterns of stepping responses to recover from loss of balance

Age-related changes in muscle coordination patterns of stepping responses to recover from loss of balance

Introduction: Reactive stepping capacity to recover from a loss of balance declines with aging, which increases the risk of falling. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms, we investigated whether muscle coordination patterns of reactive stepping differed between healthy young and older indi...
