Falls Clinical Trial
Experimental design overview:
The proposed project is a prospective experimental study design. Independent old adults (age
65 years old and older) who suffer from minor balance problems willing to participate in the
study will be tested with well-established measuring techniques of balance and gait before
and 4 weeks after balance training program using the "Self Mobility Improvement in the
Elderly by Counteracting Falls" system (SMILING system). The study design is randomized
clinical trial (RCT), cross over, single blinded study design where 30 subjects will
randomly be allocated into experimental or control groups that will switch groups after 4
weeks of intervention.
Random sequence generation will be performed by a staff member who will not interact with
subjects during the balance-testing sessions. Subjects will be informed that they are to be
randomly assigned to one of the two groups, both receiving gait training program.
The staff member who administers the training programs will be the only member of the
research team aware of the subjects' group allocations.
A 'blinded' research assistant will administer the balance tests and will perform any data
processing that involves subjective judgments.
Scripts will be used during testing to ensure that all subjects receive the same
instructions.
Testing session between two training periods (T1) will take one week.
