Reactive balance to unanticipated trip-like perturbations: a treadmill-based study examining effect of aging and stroke on fall risk

The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanism of fall risk in community-dwelling ambulatory hemiplegic stroke survivors when exposed to a sudden, trip-like support surface perturbation in standing. Participants (n = 14 / group) included stroke survivors, Age-similar older controls (AC), and...
