TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Balance control during walking in the older adult: research and its implications JO - Physical therapy A1 - Woollacott, M. H. A1 - Tang, P. F. SP - 646 EP - 660 VL - 77 IS - 6 N2 - In this article, we highlight the unique nature of balance control during walking in humans. A control framework, including proactive and reactive balance control, is introduced to lay out age-related changes in different balance control mechanisms during walking. Clinical implications that may be useful for clinicians for assessment and treatment of balance problems that occur during walking are also discussed.
