Acceptability of treadmill perturbation-based balance training in older adults at risk of falling: a mixed-methods evaluation of participant and trainer perspectives

Perturbation-based balance training (PBT) specifically targets fall mechanisms and holds promise for fall prevention in older adults, but its reliance on near-fall exposure may pose a barrier to engagement. Successful implementation depends on acceptability among participants and trainers, yet a mix...

Description
Summary:Perturbation-based balance training (PBT) specifically targets fall mechanisms and holds promise for fall prevention in older adults, but its reliance on near-fall exposure may pose a barrier to engagement. Successful implementation depends on acceptability among participants and trainers, yet a mixed-methods, multi-perspective evaluation of PBT acceptability is lacking.
