TL;DR: The hypothesis that compromised postural balance in older subjects is associated with changes in calf muscle-tendon physiological and mechanical properties is tested and may explain the majority of the variance in balance performance during tasks more difficult than habitual bipedal stance.
Abstract: We tested the hypothesis that compromised postural balance in older subjects is associated with changes in calf muscle-tendon physiological and mechanical properties. Trial duration and center of p...
