Lower extremity muscle activity during reactive balance differs between adults with chronic traumatic brain injury and controls
Greater muscle activity exhibited during the reactive balance test by individuals with chronic severe TBI compared to those without disabilities, particularly at small unexpected perturbations, highlights the greater physiologic effort required to control reactive balance even after independent ambulation is achieved.
