Are activity-based assessments of balance and gait in the elderly predictive of risk of falling and/or type of fall? by Topper, A K, Maki, B E, Holliday, P J

“…To determine whether an activity-based test of balance and gait is predictive of the risk of: (1) falling in situations that are related to specific tasks…”

Thresholds for step initiation induced by support-surface translation: a dynamic center-of-mass model provides much better prediction than a static model by Pai, Y.-C, Maki, B.E, Iqbal, K, McIlroy, W.E, Perry, S.D

“…The need to initiate a step in order to recover balance could, in theory, be predicted by a static model based solely on displacement of the center of mass…”
