Trunk kinematics and fall risk of older adults: Translating biomechanical results to the clinic

Abstract This paper reviews some of our experiences over nearly 15 years of trying to determine modifiable factors that contribute to the high incidence of fall by older adults. As part of our approach, we have subjected healthy young and older adults to very large postural disturbances during locom...
