Reactive stepping strategies following lateral surface translations in individuals with a unilateral lower limb amputation
… of balance, individuals may utilize specific stepping strategies to prevent themselves from falling. The stepping strategies that are used by lower limb amputees, which likely consist of unique properties because of the limitations when using a prosthesis, have not been thoroughly identified. …

Reactive Balance Control after Stroke: Towards Enhanced Clinical Understanding and Assessment
… research has revealed the essential role that reactive balance control, specifically the capacity to initiate and execute a rapid step, has in preventing falls. Of concern, reactive balance control is not routinely assessed within physical therapy practice. Challenges to clinical assessment may …

Identification and Modification of Risk Factors Contributing to Slip- and Trip-Induced Falls
… and, second, to develop and evaluate improved reactive balance training (RBT) interventions to reduce risk of falls due to slipping and tripping. The first study investigated the effects of performing occupationally-relevant fatigue-inducing physical work on trip and fall risk. Healthy young …

Assessing the Effects of Exoskeleton Use on Balance and Postural Stability
There is emerging evidence for the potential of occupational back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) to reduce physical demands, and thereby help control/prevent the risk of overexertion injuries associated with manual material handling. However, it is important to understand whether BSEs also introduce …
