| Research Abstract |
We investigated that(1) age related changes in compensatory steps,(2) age related differences in interlimb coordination during dual task paradigm, and(3) the effect of the cane for balance recovery. We found that(1) the anticipated postural adjustments play a key role to maintain balance only in elderly subjects during compensatory steps,(2) interlimb coordination is disturbed only in elderly subjects by cognitive task, and(3) the cane is more likely to increase fall risk during balance recovery.
