Effect of Muscle Fatigue on Walking Balance

As we age, there are many possible changes that can increase our risk of falling. These changes may affect how we are able to compensate for balance when our muscles are tired. The goal of this research study is to understand how fatiguing (tiring) specific muscles can impact our ability to respond to different balance challenges in daily life.
