Accidental Falls Clinical Trial
Official title:
Development and Evaluation of a Perturbation-based Balance-training Program for Older Adults
This study aims to investigate the potential to train compensatory stepping and grasping reactions for the prevention of falls.
Physical activity and exercise have been shown to prevent falling in older adults, although
the exact mechanisms by which exercise prevents falls is unclear. Compensatory stepping and
grasping reactions are frequently used to prevent a fall to the ground following a loss of
balance. Age-related impairment in these reactions may be related to an increased risk of
falling. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate means for reversing
age-related impairment in compensatory stepping and grasping reactions. A training program
involving perturbation-evoked reactions will be evaluated.
Comparison(s): Balance recovery ability before and after a 6-week training program will be
assessed. Performance of the training group will be compared to a control group not
receiving stepping and grasping training.
