- •
We studied the gait of elderly fallers with a history of wrist fractures.
- •
A counter-balanced repeated measures design was used.
- •
Vestibular asymmetry lead to increased double support time variability.
- •
Vestibular asymmetry did not affect swing time variability.
- •
Double support as a re-stabilization strategy is discussed.
