Older adults show preserved equilibrium but impaired step length control in motor-equivalent stabilization of gait.
Stable walking depends on the coordination of multiple biomechanical degrees of freedom to ensure the dynamic maintenance of whole-body equilibrium as well as continuous forward progression. We investigated adult age-related differences in whole-body coordination underlying stabilization of center o...
