Background Perturbation-based balance training has been proven effective to reduce falls in
older adults. However, it remains inconclusive if this training paradigm reduces falls in the …

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 …

Walking stability has been assessed through gait variability or existing biomechanical
measures. However, such measures are unable to quantify the instantaneous risk of loss-of …

Occupational exoskeletons have become more prevalent as an ergonomic control to reduce
the physical demands of workers. While beneficial effects have been reported, there is …

The shoe sole is identified as a fall risk factor since it may impede the afferent information
about the outside world collected by the plantar sensory units. However, no study has …

Virtual reality environments can be manipulated allowing controlled visual disturbances.
These environmental manipulations (textures, objects, and movements) can affect postural …

Treadmill-based repeated perturbation training (PBT) induces motor adaptation in reactive
balance responses, thus lowering the risk of slip-induced falls. However, little evidence …

Aim: To assess the adaptive response of older adults with a history of falls in a single
Perturbation-Based Balance Training (PBT) session by examining the margin of stability …

Motorized treadmills have been widely used to examine the reactive balance control of the
human body after an external perturbation, like slips or trips, and develop perturbation …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the application of neuromuscular
electrical stimulation to the quadriceps muscle of the paretic limb during externally induced …
