PROCEDURE

4-week Perturbation-based balance training

Participants will be asked to walk over a six by two meters computer-controlled movable platform at a self-selected speed. Slip-like perturbations will be induced by the device software that moves the platform 12 inches forward at 0.46 m/s with an acceleration of 9.4 m/s2. Participants will be secured in a safety harness which will be attached to the overhead arch of the platform. Participants will be asked to go to the experimental study cite 11 times. A baseline screening, 8 training sessions, a post-training screening, and a 2 months folow up screening

DEVICE

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation

NMES will be applied on tibialis anterior and quadriceps muscles during perturbation-based balance training.
