This systematic review examined available findings on spatial and temporal characteristics
of cortical activity in response to unpredicted mechanical perturbations. Secondly, this …

Background: The risk for an unexpected fall can be due to increasing age, health conditions,
and loss of cognitive, sensory, or musculoskeletal functions. Falls have personal and …

Walking is one of the daily activities that may cause falling in older adults. We developed a
novel dynamic balance training program using a perturbation-based training on a custom …

Background Following mild traumatic brain injury, individuals often exhibit quantifiable gait
deficits over flat surfaces, but little is known about how they control gait over complex …

Purpose: A literature review was conducted to explore the necessary competencies for
leaders in health care to implement Lean management successfully throughout their …

Foot placement can be selected to anticipate upcoming perturbations, but it is unclear how
this anticipatory strategy is influenced by available response time or precise knowledge of …

The dual-task (motor and cognitive) performance of eight older adults (72.0±6.4 years; 5
female; 3 male) was evaluated. Vocal choice reaction times (cognitive task) were measured …

Background Inhibitions in the acquisition of accurate information about the environment can
affect control of the lower extremities and lead to anterior cruciate ligament injury. This study …

Typically, humans plan foot placement 2-3 steps in advance; however, everyday complex
environments have elements that may disrupt anticipated foot placement. When foot …

Lower limb motor function involves gross movements for locomotion but also includes finer
control of the joints for obstacle avoidance and responses to perturbations of body posture …
