From: Differences in motor response to stability perturbations limit fall-resisting skill transfer
Margin of stability (MoS, A) and base of support (BoS, B) for unperturbed baseline walking (B, BASE) and for the first (T1) and eighth (T8) trials of treadmill-based perturbation exercise for Low (n = 10) and High (n = 10) perturbation magnitude groups. Data for T1 and T8 is shown for left foot touchdown after perturbation (PERT) and for the right foot touchdown for the subsequent recovery step (REC). Note that PERT at T1 and T8 (9.9 ± 6.9 cm and 10.4 ± 8.5 cm respectively) showed quite similar average values for the high perturbation magnitude group. Values are presented as averages with standard deviation error bars. ‡, * and † indicate significant differences. ‡ BASE vs. T1 and T8 for low and high groups (P < 0.05); * T1 vs. T8 for low and high groups (P < 0.001); † low vs. high groups at T1 and T8 (P < 0.05).
