Background Trips account for over half of outdoor falls among community-dwelling older
adults. Aims To investigate to what extent obstacle-induced trip-perturbation training could …

Falls in older adults are a major health and societal problem. It is thus imperative to develop
highly effective training paradigms to reduce the likelihood of falls. Perturbation training is …

While perturbation training is promising in reducing fall-risk among older adults, its impact
on altering their spontaneous gait pattern has not been investigated. The purpose of this …

The purpose of this study was to determine any potential falls-resistance benefits that might
arise from treadmill-slip-perturbation training. One hundred sixty-six healthy community …

Background Perturbation training is an emerging paradigm to reduce idiopathic falls (without
clinical signs or symptoms) in older adults. While a higher threat dosage (intensity) in motor …

Background Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults and most often occur
during walking. While strength and balance training moderately improve falls risk, training …

Background and Purpose: Falls can result in bone fractures and disability, presenting a
serious threat to quality of life and independence in older adults. The majority of falls in …

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 …

Background. Falls leading to disability are common occurrences with advancing age.
Stepping is a natural protective option for maintaining balance and preventing falls. There …

[Purpose] Tripping is a frequent cause of falls among aging adults. Appropriate limb
movements while negotiating obstacles are critical to trip avoidance. The aim of our study …
