Prior to gait initiation (GI), anticipatory postural adjustments (GI-APA) are activated in order
to reorganize posture, favorably for gait. In healthy subjects, the center of pressure (CoP) is …

Balance impairment is common in individuals with neurological disorders and older adults
and is a major cause of falls in these populations. Evidence on the effectiveness of …

The aim of the current study was to determine differences in center of pressure (COP)
excursion and muscle activation during gait initiation (GI) in those with and without chronic …

Testing balance through squatting exercise is a central part of many rehabilitation programs
and sports and plays also an important role in clinical evaluation of residual motor ability …

Background People after stroke often have postural impairments that can increase their risk
of falling. Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are changes in the activity of postural …

Background: To better understand gait initiation in individuals with stroke and suggest
possible training strategies, we compared the gait initiation of individuals with stroke and …

Background Coordination between arm movements and postural adjustments is crucial for
reaching-while-step** tasks involving both anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) and …

Corticospinal lesions cause impairments in voluntary motor control. Recent findings suggest
that some degree of voluntary control may be taken over by a compensatory pathway …

Background Gait initiation can be performed at a range of speeds. Those with disability tend
to use a slower speed compared to those without disability. In assessing the spatiotemporal …

ABSTRACT Background and Objective Accelerations, ground reaction force data, and other
quantitative data obtained from kinematic analyses of gait initiation serve as measures of …
