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 Reactive balance training (RBT) is an emerging approach to reducing falls risk in
people with balance impairments. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of …

Importance Falls are common and the leading cause of injuries among older adults, but falls
may be attenuated by the promising and time-efficient intervention called perturbation-based …

The objectives of this study are to compare hip muscle strength, hip joint proprioception, and
functional balance between individuals with unilateral hip OA and asymptomatic individuals …

Background Evaluating asymmetries in muscle function could provide important insights for
fall risk assessments. We sought to determine the associations of (i) handgrip strength …

Many people with chronic stroke (PwCS) exhibit deficits in step width modulation, an
important strategy for walking balance. A single exposure to swing leg perturbations can …

Background: The risk for an unexpected fall can be due to increasing age, health conditions,
and loss of cognitive, sensory, or musculoskeletal functions. Falls have personal and …

Falls are a major concern in the elderly and walking is an important daily activity in which
falls occur, with tripping and slipping being the most frequent causes. Gait biomechanical …

Introduction: There is increasing evidence that perturbation-based balance training (PBT) is
highly effective in preventing falls at older age. Different PBT paradigms have been …

The purpose of this review is to position the emerging clinical promise of validating and
implementing biomechanical biomarkers of falls in fall prevention interventions. The review …
