Fall history

downin humans1

1 study
  1. fall history decreases foot clearance in humans (p = 0.016 (entry), p = 0.003 (middle)).

    “when ascending, the fallers group had less foot clearance on the entry (p = 0.016) and middle steps (p = 0.003)”

  1. Female sex is associated with foot clearance in humans (p < 0.05).

    “Foot clearance height and cycle duration were lower in women (p < 0.05).”

Older and younger adults chose slower speeds on treadmills

Participants chose treadmill speeds 0.35 meters per second slower than overground speeds across flat, uphill and downhill walking.Participants chose treadmill speeds 0.35 meters per second slower than overground speeds across flat, uphill and downhill walking.
