ABSTRACT Background People living with Parkinson's disease (PD) have a high risk for
falls. Objective To examine gaps in falls prevention targeting people with PD as part of the …

Humans' balance recovery responses to gait perturbations are negatively impacted with
ageing. Slip and trip events, the main causes preceding falls during walking, are likely to …

Importance Falls are common and the leading cause of injuries among older adults, but falls
may be attenuated by the promising and time-efficient intervention called perturbation-based …

The relationship between self-reported falls and fracture risk was estimated in an
international meta-analysis of individual-level data from 46 prospective cohorts. Previous …

Background Increasing number of falls and fall-related injuries in an aging society give rise
to the need for effective fall prevention and rehabilitation strategies. Besides traditional …

The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent PD affects the ability to walk, respond
to balance perturbations in a single training session, and produce acute short-term effects to …

Background Laboratory studies of postural responses suggest that stepping is a common
strategy for balance recovery. Yet little is known about the frequency and characteristics of …

While much attention has been paid to understanding slip-related falls in humans, little has
been focused on curvilinear paths despite their prevalence, distinct biomechanical demands …

Balance perturbations are used to study locomotor instability. However, these perturbations
are designed to provoke a specific context of instability that may or may not generalize to a …

Introduction: There is increasing evidence that perturbation-based balance training (PBT) is
highly effective in preventing falls at older age. Different PBT paradigms have been …
