Furthermore, the project aims to determine the feasibility and tolerability of 30-minutes of perturbation training using the SureFooted Trainer. Overall, the project directs to find out the long term effect of training on fall risk reduction and fall prevention.\n\nThis study investigates the effects of perturbation training (slip and trip) based on the principles of motor learning. Perturbations in the form of slips and trips induced by the three different types of perturbation devices will displace the center of mass outside the base of support and challenge the stability, thereby inducing a fall and demand compensatory strategies in order to prevent it. Such perturbation training would train the motor system to improve stability control and vertical limb support.\n\nThe project design aims to examine the ability of the central nervous system to mitigate the interference in stability control (if any) that is induced by opposing types of perturbations. The hypothesis of this study if supported by the results, will provide the difference in motor learning with training on three different perturbation devices. Furthermore, it would help to determine which of the three training devices is the most effective in developing defense mechanisms necessary to reduce fall-risk among community-living older adults and the neurological population.",[28,29,30],"Healthy Young","Healthy Aging","Stroke",[32,33,34],"Reactive balance","Virtual reality training","Surefooted platform","RECRUITING","2026-07-01",{"date":38,"type":39},"2026-07-06","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":39},"2018-02-01",{"date":43,"type":22},"2027-12-31",{"name":45,"class":46},"University of Illinois at Chicago","OTHER"]
