Paper Title
8-Weeks of Training Onslip-Induced Falls of the Elderly
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate if neuromusculoskeletal training (i.e., weight and balance training) for
older adults could reduce the likelihood of slip-induced fall accidents. The study focused on evaluating biomechanics among
the elderly at pre- and post-training stages during processes associated with slip-induced fall accidents.18 older adults
participated in the study for 8 weeks: 6 individuals in balance group, 6 individuals in weight group, and 6 individuals in
control group (social group). Each group met three times a week and each session lasted for 1 hour. Biomechanical
dependent measures and psychosocial dependent measures were evaluated to the effects of training.
