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.Pages 155-16511 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightSlipstripsFallsmanual material handlingfatigueHumansFatigueGaitWalkingRisk AssessmentRisk FactorsEquipment and SuppliesTask Performance and AnalysisAccidental FallsWeight-BearingPostural BalanceBiomechanical PhenomenaArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1080/24725838.2020.185055283Madigan, Michael [0000-0002-4299-3851]331906172472-5846
