The effects of blurring vision on medio-lateral balance during stepping up or down to a new level in the elderly
No === Visual impairment is an important risk factor for falls, but relatively little is known about how it affects stair negotiation. The present study determined how medio-lateral (ML) dynamics of stepping and single limb support stability when stepping up or down to a new level were affected by b...
