Evaluation of Gait and Slip Characteristics for Adults with Mental Retardation
Adults with mental retardation (MR) experience a greater number of falls than their non-disabled peers. To date, efforts to understand the causes for these falls have primarily involved qualitative studies that use largely subjective measures to quantify stability. Performing a more objective biom...
