Abstract
This study aimed to identify the kinematic measures determining balance outcome following an over-ground trip perturbation. 117 healthy older adults who experienced laboratory-induced trips were divided into loss of balance (LOB) and no LOB groups. The LOB group contained 27 fallers and 34 non-fallers, and the no LOB group contained 21 participants using cross-over strategy and 35 participants using obstacle-hit strategy. A 2-class hierarchical regression model for balance loss showed that margin of stabilty could determine the balance outcomes (LOB or not) with an overall accuracy of 92.7%. The 4-class model for recovery strategies showed that the combination of margin of stability, trunk angle, and COM velocity could determine 81.9% of strategies. Our findings would enhance intervention development for populations at risk of trip-induced falls.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Motor Behavior, a multidisciplinary journal of movement neuroscience, publishes articles that contribute to a basic understanding of motor control. Articles from different disciplinary perspectives and levels of analysis are encouraged, including neurophysiological, biomechanical, electrophysiological, psychological, mathematical and physical, and clinical approaches. Applied studies are acceptable only to the extent that they provide a significant contribution to a basic issue in motor control. Of special interest to the journal are those articles that attempt to bridge insights from different disciplinary perspectives to infer processes underlying motor control. Those approaches may embrace postural, locomotive, and manipulative aspects of motor functions, as well as coordination of speech articulators and eye movements. Articles dealing with analytical techniques and mathematical modeling are welcome.
