Treadmill-based perturbation training
The intervention consists of disturbances delivered on a treadmill that simulates tripping over an obstacle or being perturbed to the side. These disturbances require a compensatory step to respond. Through this task-specific training, participants should learn to control their trunk motion in a way that will cause them to avoid a trip or fall to the side.
