Patterns of whole-body muscle activations following vertical perturbations during standing and walking

Abstract Background Falls commonly occur due to losses of balance associated with vertical body movements (e.g. reacting to uneven ground, street curbs). Research, however, has focused on horizontal perturbations, such as forward and backward translations of the standing surface. This study describe...
