摘要: Each year there is an increasing incidence of slip and fall accidents, especially among the elderly population. Existing evidence has identified several aging effects related to yet, causes these accidents with advancing age are still little known. The objective this research was investigate factors influencing initial phase unexpected slips falls in younger older individuals. More specifically, relationship between ankle strength, joint power transfer whole body center-of-mass during normal gait, likelihood slip-induced identified.
