Improving trip-and slip-resisting skills in older people: perturbation dose matters
• Older adults can adapt and retain trip-and slip-resisting skills through brief exposure to
repetitive treadmill gait perturbations despite age-related muscular changes, but pathology …

Recovery from a forward falling slip: measurement of dynamic stability and strength requirements using a split-belt instrumented treadmill
H Debelle, C Harkness-Armstrong, K Hadwin… - Frontiers in sports and …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Aim: Falls commonly occur from trips and slips while walking. Recovery strategies from trips
and backward falling slips have been extensively studied. However, until recently, forward …

Older adults demonstrate interlimb transfer of reactive gait adaptations to repeated unpredictable gait perturbations
C McCrum, K Karamanidis, L Grevendonk, W Zijlstra… - GeroScience, 2020 - Springer
The ability to rapidly adjust gait to cope with unexpected mechanical perturbations declines
with ageing. Previous studies, however, have not ensured that gait stability pre-perturbation …
