Objective Falls are a serious health problem for older adults. Several studies have identified
the decline of postural balance as one of the main risk factors for falls. Contrary to what may …

Osteoporosis is a prevalent health concern among older adults and is associated with an
increased risk of falls that incur fracture, injury, or mortality. Identifying the risk factors of falls …

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients achieve postural stability during challenging stance
conditions by increasing sway speed. We investigated the mechanisms underlying this …
