Elderly people, and especially elderly fallers, walk differently. More slowly, obviously, but with the same cadence and with greater variability in mediao-lateral foot placement. Fallers, when challenged, tend to overexagerate these diferences. In the TUG test they stand up with a protective, but inefficient, wide base of support.<br />
Our studies include the development of novel ways of measuring perfomance in everyday tasks and of tools and proceedures to impove balance.
Research interests (short)
Walking, balance and the Timed Up & Go test.
