In this article, we highlight the unique nature of balance control during walking in humans. A
control framework, including proactive and reactive balance control, is introduced to lay out …

Locomotion on stairs is among the most challenging and hazardous activities of daily living
for older individuals. This is evidenced by the reports that stair falls account for more than …

The aim of this study was to evaluate acceleration patterns at the head and pelvis while

For this study, we evaluated two training interventions for improving gait parameters in
individuals with poststroke hemiplegia using a training methodology that required them to …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of walking surfaces and shoe features on gait
variables associated with balance control and the risk of slips and trips in 10 young and 26 …

Background. A large proportion of falls in older people occur when walking, however the
mechanisms underlying impaired balance during gait are poorly understood. This study …

To reduce the number of falls in old age, we need to understand the mechanisms
underpinning a fall, who are at risk of falling, and what interventions can prevent such …

This systematic review and critical evaluation of the literature investigates whether advanced
age compromises obstacle crossing under unconstrained and time-constrained conditions …
