Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Combined volitional and reactive step training
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.
Non-specific exercise group
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.
