dc.description.abstractOCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONS: We found, contrary to expectations, that performing a fatiguing simulated heavy manual material handling (MMH) task did not adversely affect the risk of trip-induced falls when compared to a less-fatiguing light MMH task. However, when considering these MMH tasks together rather than in comparison, our results provide evidence for adverse effects of fatigue on both gait and the ability to recover balance after tripping. The current results provide additional evidence that physical fatigue increases fall risk, start to clarify the mechanisms by which this increase occurs, and can help in developing and evaluating fall prevention strategies targeting these mechanisms.en
