Balance recovery strategies and the role of swing and support legs in regulating angular impulse during fall recovery vary among younger adults, older nonfallers, and older fallers.
This review discusses the biomechanics of fall recovery strategies across different age groups and fall risk profiles.
May inform age-specific fall prevention; hypothesis-generating for targeted leg strategies in older fallers.
This article reviews the role of the swing and support legs in regulating angular impulse during fall recovery and contrasts the balance recovery strategies used by younger adults and older adult nonfallers and fallers.
