Prediction of Balance Perturbations and Falls on Stairs in Older People Using a Biomechanical Profiling Approach: A 12-Month Longitudinal Study

Abstract Background Stair falls are a major health problem for older people, but presently, there are no specific screening tools for stair fall prediction. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether stair fallers could be differentiated from nonfallers by biomechanical risk factors...
