COMPARING COMPENSATORY REACTIONS IN YOUNG AND OLDER ADULTS IN RESPONSE TO PLATFORM PERTURBATIONS DURING GAIT
The overall objective of this thesis was to compare compensatory reactions in young and older adults following unexpected platform perturbations in the frontal and sagittal planes during gait. Eleven young (aged 18-30) and ten community-dwelling older adults (aged 65+) completed a general health que...
