Summary

The overall goal of this research is to compare the effects of two different exercise programs on gait function in older adults. The investigators want to determine if participation in lateral stepping exercise program for six weeks will improve gait functions compared to forward walking exercise program.

Conditions

  • Older Adults
  • Fall Patients

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Lateral stepping

Subjects will step laterally, changing direction every 10 m, thus alternating lead and lag limbs.

BEHAVIORAL
