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 …

Background The risk of falling and associated injuries increases with age. Therefore, the
prevention of falls is a key priority in geriatrics and is particularly based on physical …

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 …

Objectives No intervention has been shown to prevent falls poststroke. We aimed to
determine if perturbation-based balance training (PBT) can reduce falls in daily life among …

Recently, fall risk assessment has been a main focus in fall-related research. Wearable
sensors have been used to increase the objectivity of this assessment, building on the …

Background Falls are the leading cause of injuries among older adults, and trips and slips
are major contributors to falls. Objective The authors sought to compare the effectiveness of …

Falls efficacy is a widely studied construct. The understanding of falls efficacy has evolved
over time. Falls efficacy was initially perceived to be suitably used as a measure of fear of …

• Older adults can adapt and retain trip-and slip-resisting skills through brief exposure to
repetitive treadmill gait perturbations despite age-related muscular changes, but pathology …

Background: Reactive balance responses are critical for fall prevention. Perturbation-based
balance training (PBBT) has shown a positive effect in reducing the risk of falls among older …

Background This factorial, assessor-blinded, randomized, and controlled study compared
the effects of perturbation-induced step training (lateral waist-pulls), hip muscle …
