Variability of Movement on an Altered Inertial Dynamics Task

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of this research is to compare the effects of two different exercise programs on gait function in older adults. The investigators want to determine if participation in lateral stepping exercise program for six weeks will improve gait functions compared to forward walking exercise program.

Clinical Trial Description

The overall goal of this research is to compare the effects of two different exercise programs on gait function in older adults. It is expected that improved control of foot placement in the lateral stepping task will transfer to improved control during typical forward walking. Moreover, it is expected that lateral stepping gait training will have a greater effect on recurrent fallers older adults than on the non-fallers older adults and young adults. It is also expected that the above beneficial results will be retained in a follow-up test six weeks after completion of the intervention and will result in improvements in common clinical balance tests that are used to assess fall risk. Therefore, in the current proposal, older adults aged 65 years of age and over are being asked to participate. ;
