Fear of Falls - Angel Phanthanourak - Brock University. We execute anticipatory postural adjustments to proactively minimize disturbances to balance during every day movements. These postural adjustments often become less reliable with aging, contributing to increased fall risk in older adults. In the Biomechanics and Motor Control lab at Brock University, we aim to understand how elevated anxiety and fear of falling is affecting anticipatory postural strategies. By demonstrating the role these
