Aim: Falls commonly occur from trips and slips while walking. Recovery strategies from trips
and backward falling slips have been extensively studied. However, until recently, forward …

Background Trips and slips increase fall risk for young and older adults. To examine
recovery responses, studies utilized treadmill and/or over-ground methods to simulate real …

Recovery stepping in response to forward slips has the potential to not only rebuild the base
of support to prevent backward falling, but also provide extra limb support to prevent …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether stability and limb support play a similar
role in governing slip outcome in gait-slip as in sit-to-stand-slip, and whether such prediction …

Although interventional studies have suggested that dance-based training may reduce fall
risk for older adults based on unperturbed assessments, it remains unknown whether dance …

Tripping is a major cause for falls, especially in the elderly. This study investigated whether
falls in the elderly can be attributed to inadequate push-off reactions by the support limb in …

Background The assessment of stability recovery performance following perturbations
contributes to the determination of fall resisting skills. This study investigated the association …

The purpose was to examine and compare the longer-term generalization between 2
different practice dosages for a single-session treadmill slip-perturbation training when …

Falls are a major source of injury in older adults. Many falls occur after slipping. This study
determined performance-related factors that both contribute to slip-related falls and that may …
