Aging effect on successful reactive-recovery from unexpected slips
ISBN-13: 9783639158908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 108 str.
Fall accidents represent a tremendous health problem to the society, both in terms of human suffering and economic losses. Improved understanding of age-related biomechanical characteristics in response to unexpected slip perturbations would enhance our ability to identify the successful reactive-recovery mechanisms involved in slip and fall accidents. This book described a laboratory study having both young and elderly participants walk over a slippery surface. A 3D lower extremity joint moment analysis was performed to those trials that participants successfully recovered their balance. The findings indicated significant age-related differences in joint moment generation patterns. The information presented in the book would help develop effective fall prevention strategies and is intended for researchers in the field of human balance and stability control.
