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.

Abstract

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.
