Relationships between Hamstring Activation Rate and Biomechanics of Slip-induced Falls among Young and Older Adults
This study was conducted to investigate whether hamstring muscle activation rate could potentially serve as an indicator for slip-induced falls, particularly for older adults. Kinematics (heel contact velocity, walking velocity, slip distance, and step length), kinetics (friction demand), and elect...
