Abstract

The extent of neural and muscular response differences to sudden unintentional balance destabilization system (UBDS) compared to command-driven tasks could produce a new measure to explain why some elders who do well in command-driven clinical balance tests experience unintentional falls. This paper presents pilot studies on the reliability that UBDS test environment compared to performing command-driven tasks triggers a characteristic trend in neural and muscular response latencies in humans.
