GENERALIZATION OF TREADMILL-SLIP TRAINING TO PREVENT A FALL FOLLLOWING A SUDDEN (NOVEL) SLIP IN $ OVER-GROUND WALKING w a t e r Feng Yang, Tanvi Bhatt, and Yi-Chung Pai m Department of Physical Therapy, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60612, USA a r k - t e Abstract x t The purposes of the study were to determine 1) whether treadmill-slip training could reduce the likelihood of falls during a novel slip in over-ground walking, and 2) to what extent such (indirect) training would be comparable to (direct) over-ground-slip training. A treadmill-slip training group (Group A, n=17) initially experienced repeated perturbations on treadmill intended to simulate forward-slip in over-ground walking. Perturbation continued and its intensity reduced when necessary to ensure subjects’ successful adaptation (i.e., when they could land their trailing foot $ ahead of the slipping foot in at least 3 of 5 consecutive trials). They then experienced a novel slip w a during over-ground walking. Another 17 young adults in Group B experienced an identical novel t e slip that served as the controls. They then underwent more slip trials during over-ground walking. r m Their 16th slip trial was analyzed to represent the over-ground-slip training effect. Eight subjects a r k
