Perturbations are designed to provoke a specific context of instability that may or may not generalize to a broader understanding of falls risk. Latest from @Andy_Shelt: "Does the effect of walking balance perturbations generalize across contexts?" (1/3)

Folks - we have a new @NIH F31 predoctoral fellow in the lab! Huge congratulations to @Andy_Shelt on being awarded a 3-year fellowship from the #NIA: "The Effects of Muscle Fatigability on Gait Instability in Aging and Age-Related Falls Risk". So darn excited! @jointbme
Our first use of self-paced treadmill control measures the walking speed response to balance perturbations. Congratulations to @Andy_Shelt on his first paper @UNCNCSUBME "Slowing Down to Preserve Balance in the Presence of Optical Flow Perturbations" tinyurl.com/yckr9vj6 (1/3)
