Change-in-support reactions for balance recovery.

The authors provide an overview of their own recent research in "change-in-support" reactions covering control mechanisms, age-related changes, and implications for fall prevention. Compensatory stepping and grasping are critical reactions for preventing falls. These reactions are much mor...
