Who can join

Adults 70 to 120, any sex, with Accidental Falls. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

A Randomized Control Trial will be conducted with Independent old adults (age 70 years old and older) who willing to participate in the study. They will be randomly allocated to two groups: 1) Stationary bicycle riding that includes perturbation balance training during riding; 2) Stationary bicycle riding that does not includes perturbation balance training during riding. Balance and Gait assessments will be tested before and after 3 months of training (2-3 times a week).
