Balance perturbation system to improve balance compensatory responses during walking in old persons

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2010
Ageing commonly disrupts the balance control and compensatory postural responses that contribute to maintaining balance and preventing falls during perturbation of posture. This can lead to increased risk of falling in old adults (65 years old and over).
