Training volitional stepping might lead to improved control of the APA but would probably not improve control of lateral stability during compensatory stepping. Another example pertains to training of reaction speed. It has been shown that older adults are slower than younger subjects to lift the ...

Falls are a common cause of injuries and hospitalization among older adults. While conventional balance training appears effective in preventing falls, a relatively large number of training sessions are needed and retention of the effects after the training period is hard to accomplish. This may be ...
Falls in older people are a major public health problem with substantial economic health cost and significant implications for the individuals. Knee osteoarthritis (OA), a common painful, debilitating and life-altering joint disease, is present in 50% of adults over 65 years of age. The prevalenc...

Declining cognition has been associated with more “risky” mobility activities (e.g., not holding onto a grab bar for support when stepping into the bathtub) and increased fall rate [15]. Thus, increased fall incidence in older adults with MCI may be partially attributed to judgment errors....
