Add to ORKGSlips and falls are a major health concern in the United States. Injury incidence rates have increased in recent years and now the leading cause of non-fatal injuries and the third leading cause of fatal injuries in the U.S. are due to falls. During an unexpected slip, sensory information is used to elicit an appropriate recovery. Therefore, increased fall risk has been associated with declines in sensory system integrity. Previous research has suggested that decreased balance scores were associated with more hazardous slips yet measures of postural control between individuals who fall or recover after an induced slip have not been investigated. PURPOSE: To examine differences in slip detection using postural control measures between indivi...
