Trip and Slip Perturbation

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]
