Description[edit | edit source]
A special category of reactive balance intervention strategies is demonstrating value in reducing falls. Inoculation against falls uses the same principle as reactive balance intervention strategies by including a moving surface in the intervention. The patient is actually walking while the surface instability is introduced. The surface movement can be a board popping up causing a trip. The surface movement can also be a fast sliding sensation after the person steps down causing a slip.[1]
Stephen Lord discusses the relevance of slip or trip training to reduce falls.

I presented at the American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting with Clive (the researcher in the below video) and Tiffany Shubert about the current research on inoculation against falls. The ability to really take reactive balance intervention strategies to the next level to inoculate against falls is quite new. This video demonstrates what it may look like in the research lab.
This particular example isn't exactly like the research in laboratories. In a way, it accomplishes the same idea. Although the walking surface is not moving, in this video friction has been substantially reduced. With the reduced friction, the patient would need to control their center of gravity with their momentum to not slip and slide.
add appropriate resources here, including text links or content demonstrating the intervention or technique
