Abstract:Inter-joint interactions are involved in human standing. These interactions work not only for global kinematics that control the center of mass (COM) of the entire body, but also for local kinematics that control joint angular movements. Age-related changes in these interactions are thought to cause unstable standing postures in older people. Interactions of global kinematics are known to be deficient owing to aging. However, it is unclear whether the interaction of local kinematics is affected by aging. We in… Show more
