Table 2: Demonstrates mean stepping threshold or percentage total body weight (%TBW) and mean limit % TBW for fallers and non-fallers and the percentage of fallers and non-fallers demonstrating a one, two or three step response in both anterior and posterior direction, step frequency of fallers and non-fallers at 10% TBW and the frequency of fallers and non-fallers at each %TBW (ranging from 5% TBW and 14% TBW).
