The SafeTrip Study - Step Training to Reduce Falls in Older Adults

Reactive balance training involves the use of the Trip and Slip walkway that is able to expose participants to unpredictable trips and slips. Trips and slips will occur at random location on the walkway and times within the gait cycle, with the participants receiving 3-monthly retraining sessions along with an educational booklet.

The control intervention will be receiving an educational booklet as part of standard care. The education component will target a variety of fall risk factors and provide strategies to mitigate these risk factors.
