Ankle muscle strength discriminates fallers from non-fallers

Ankle muscle strength discriminates fallers from non-fallers

It is well known that centre of pressure (CoP) displacement correlates negatively with the maximal isometric torque (MIT) of ankle muscles. This relationship has never been investigated in elderly fallers. The purpose of this study was thus to analyse the relationship between the MIT of ankle muscle...
