On the Basis for Stumble Recovery Strategy Selection in Healthy Adults.

ABSTRACT: Healthy adults employ one of three primary strategies to recover from stumble perturbations-elevating, lowering, or delayed lowering. The basis upon which each recovery strategy is selected is not known. Though strategy selection is often associated with swing percentage at which the perturbation occurs, swing percentage does not fully predict strategy selection; it is not a physical quantity; and it is not strictly a real-time measurement. The objective of this work is to better describe the basis of strategy selection in healthy individuals during stumble events, and in particular to identify a set of real-time measurable, physical quantities that better predict stumble recovery strategy selection, relative to swing percentage. To do this, data from a prior seven-participant stumble expe
