Since the mid-2000s, perturbation-based balance training has been gaining interest as an
efficient and effective way to prevent falls in older adults. It has been suggested that this task …

The relationship between the age-associated decline in mitochondrial function and its effect
on skeletal muscle physiology and function remain unclear. In the current study, we …

Chronic calorie restriction (CR) improves cardiovascular function and several other
physiological markers of healthspan. However, CR is impractical in non-obese older …

Introduction The inability to recover from unexpected lateral loss of balance may be
particularly relevant to the problem of falling. Aim We aimed to explore whether different …

Background: Walkway and treadmill induced trips have contrasting advantages, for instance
walkway trips have high-ecological validity whereas belt accelerations on a treadmill have …

Background Perturbation-based balance training (PBT) is an emerging intervention shown
to improve balance recovery responses and reduce falls in everyday life in older adults …

Background Falls are a leading cause for emergency department (ED) visits in older adults.
As a fall is associated with a high risk of functional decline and further falls and many falls do …

Recent studies have shown balance recovery can be enhanced via task-specific training,
referred to as perturbation-based balance training (PBT). These interventions rely on …

Background The lower extremity may play a crucial role in compensating for gait
perturbations. The study aimed to explore the mechanism of perturbation compensation by …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether and to what extent the immediate
generalization of treadmill slip-perturbation training could be retained over 6 months to resist …
