What startles tell us about control of posture and gait
Recently, there has been an increase in studies evaluating startle reflexes and StartReact,
many in tasks involving postural control and gait. These studies have provided important …

Influence of virtual heights on dynamic postural control
T Cleworth - 2013 - open.library.ubc.ca
Fear of falling and fall risk are strongly related. As such, falls are a leading cause of injury
among older adults. Therefore, there is a need to study how balance is influenced by fear …
