Summary

To examine the immediate and sustained effect of a 4-week combined volitional and reactive step training on fall risks in community-dwelling older fallers.

Conditions

  • Older Adults With a History of Falls

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

For the combined step training group, the participants will receive training on both volitional and reactive stepping. The training will last for 1 hours per session, 2 session per week for 4 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Active Control

An active control group will be used to minimise the placebo and history effect. The group will also receive a 4-week programme with the frequency and duration of the training and the instructor-to-participant ratio that match the combined step training group. During training, they will perform exercises not specific to reducing fall risk.
