Since the mid-2000s, perturbation-based balance training has been gaining interest as an
efficient and effective way to prevent falls in older adults. It has been suggested that this task …

Objective To summarize the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions to reduce fear of
falling (FOF) among individuals living with neurologic diseases. Data Sources PubMed …

Background Weak lower body strength and balance impairments are fundamental risk
factors for mobility impairments and falls that can be improved by physical activity (PA) …

Background Falls are more prevalent in stroke survivors than age-matched healthy older
adults because of their functional impairment. Rapid balance recovery reaction with …

This study aimed to explore the effect of external mechanical perturbations on postural
stability (PS) in dogs using the body center of pressure (COP). Thirteen sound adult dogs …

Objective Reactive balance training (RBT) is an emerging approach to reducing falls risk in
people with balance impairments. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of …

Perturbation-based exercise interventions challenge balance and improve reactive motor
control. Our purpose was to investigate the modular organisation during a standing balance …

Background: Balance deficits in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are often not helped
by pharmacological or surgical treatment. Although balance exercise intervention has been …

Background Perturbation-based balance training has been proven effective to reduce falls in
older adults. However, it remains inconclusive if this training paradigm reduces falls in the …

Background Slowed balance and mobility after stroke have been well-characterized. Yet the
effects of unilateral cortical lesions on whole-body neuromechanical control is poorly …
