The use of control – the actions of informal carers on those at risk from falling at home. A qualitative study
To explore the experiences of informal carers who provide care for frail, older adults who are at risk from falling in their own home. Frail, older adults who fall present a significant challenge for their careers and the health and social care services that support them. Falls can often mean long stays in acute hospital facilities or admission to care homes. Research studies have often investigated the cause and effect of falls in relation to ri…
Biomechanical Mechanisms of Improved Balance Recovery to Repeated Backward Slips Simulated by Treadmill Belt Accelerations in Young and Older Adults
Aim: Exposure to repeated gait perturbations improves the balance of older adults (OAs) and decreases their risks of falling, but little is known about the underpinning mechanical adjustments. We aimed to quantify the changing temporo-spatial and kinetic characteristics of balance recovery following repeated backward slips to better understand the mechanical adjustments responsible for improved balance. Methods: We exposed 17 young adults (YAs) (…
Stair Gait in Older Adults Worsens With Smaller Step Treads and When Transitioning Between Level and Stair Walking
Older people have an increased risk of falling during locomotion, with falls on stairs being particularly common and dangerous. Step going (i.e., the horizontal distance between two consecutive step edges) defines the base of support available for foot placement on stairs, as with smaller going, the user's ability to balance on the steps may become problematic. Here we quantified how stair negotiation in older participants changes between four go…
Recovery From a Forward Falling Slip
Aim: Falls commonly occur from trips and slips while walking. Recovery strategies from trips and backward falling slips have been extensively studied. However, until recently, forward falling slips (FFSs) have been considered less dangerous and have been understudied. This study aimed first to create an application to realistically simulate FFSs using a split-belt instrumented treadmill and then to understand the biomechanical requirements for yo…
