Abstract
We examined the possibility that old adults use flexibility in joint coordination as a compensatory mechanism for the age-related decline in muscle strength when performing the sit-to-stand (STS) task repeatedly under high force and balance demands. Young (n = 14, 22.4 ± 2.1) and old (n = 12, 70 ± 3.2) healthy adults performed repeated STSs under high and low force and balance demands. The balance demand was manipulated by reducing the base of...
