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 …

Objective To summarize the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions to reduce fear of
falling (FOF) among individuals living with neurologic diseases. Data Sources PubMed …

Stroke survivors show greater postural oscillations and altered muscular activation
compared to healthy controls. This results in difficulties in walking and standing, and in an …

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 Falls are one of the most common complications after stroke, with a reported
incidence ranging between 7% in the first week and 73% in the first year post stroke. This is …

Background After mild stroke persistent balance limitations may occur, creating a risk factor
for fear of falling, falls, and reduced activity levels. Objective. To investigate whether …

Background: Although perturbation-based balance training (PBT) may be effective in
improving reactive balance control and/or reducing fall risk in individuals with stroke, the …

This study aimed to explore the effect of external mechanical perturbations on postural
stability (PS) in dogs using the body center of pressure (COP). Thirteen sound adult dogs …

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 …
