Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Self-initiated perturbation-based balance training group
This group will receive two sessions of self-initiated perturbation-based balance training.
Self-initiated perturbation-based balance training
This group will receive two 30-minute training sessions over two weeks, with one session per week. Participants will be required to recover their balance upon self-initiated perturbation.
Conventional balance training group
This group will receive two sessions of balance and strength training.
Conventional balance training
This group will receive two 30-minute training sessions over two weeks, with one session per week. Participants will be instructed to perform balance and strength training. The same training duration and format will be used as the Self-initiated perturbation-based balance training group.
