Compensatory balance reactions during forward and backward walking on a treadmill

Highlights ► Balance perturbations that oppose the direction of walking are expected to yield larger amplitude corrective reactions. ► We compared corrective balance reactions during forward and backward treadmill walking. ► Backwards perturbations resulted in the largest amplitude reactions, regard...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► Balance perturbations that oppose the direction of walking are expected to yield larger amplitude corrective reactions. ► We compared corrective balance reactions during forward and backward treadmill walking. ► Backwards perturbations resulted in the largest amplitude reactions, regardless of walking direction.
