Coordination of trunk and pelvis in young and elderly individuals during axial trunk rotation

Highlights ► This study investigated age-related changes in spinal movement control. ► Subjects performed trunk rotation, and angular displacements of the trunk and pelvis was measured. ► Based on angular displacements, relative phase between the trunk and pelvis was calculated. ► Relative phase sho...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► This study investigated age-related changes in spinal movement control. ► Subjects performed trunk rotation, and angular displacements of the trunk and pelvis was measured. ► Based on angular displacements, relative phase between the trunk and pelvis was calculated. ► Relative phase showed that the older adults moved the two segments as a one unit, compared to the young adults. ► Relative phase also showed that the older adults put more effort into pelvis control to stop the two segments simultaneously.
