Neural control of anticipatory braking and lateral balance predicts fall risk in older adults: BMI-dependent mechanisms
Anticipatory braking control is critical for individuals with normal weight, whereas lateral instability elevates fall risk regardless of BMI. These findings highlight the value of BMI-stratified fall assessments and targeted interventions.
