- •
Older adults had higher electrophysiological costs than young adults for given balance tasks.
- •
Older adults showed more relative muscle activity of the tibialis muscle than did young adults.
- •
Young adults had a higher contribution from internal oblique coordination at the expense of the multifidus contribution.
- •
Older adults showed inverse muscle activity coordination patterns at the ankle and trunk on all stance conditions.
- •
Co-activation was higher in older adults for the ankle and higher in young adults for the trunk.
