Slip-only training
Subjects in this arm will receive overground, slip specific perturbation training only. The total perturbation training trials received by this group will be 24 but the protocol will consist of a total of 70-75 trials (to match the training length and time of Combined slip and trip training group).
Trip-only training
Subjects in this arm consisting of a total of 24 trials of trip specific training delivered in an identical sequence (mixed with non-trip trials) as the Group with slip only training.
Combined slip+trip training
Subjects in this arm will receive training consisting of repeated exposure to both slips and trips with a total of 24 slips plus 24 trips to keep the number of trials of each perturbation same as the perturbation specific training groups (slip only and trip only), however, the total dose will be doubled. The total trials walked (perturbed + unperturbed) will be 75.
