Motor Flexibility in Multidirectional Balance Control
The goal of this observational study is to learn about how older adults (those 65 and above) manage to maintain balance when experiencing a slip or trip while walking. The study is especially interested in how quickly and flexibly adjustments to movement can be made to avoid falling. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * How does the ability to adjust movements quickly, also known as "motor flexibility," affect the chances of recovering from a slip or trip? * Can targeted training improve this ability in older adults, making falls less likely? Participants will walk on a specially designed treadmill that can simulate slips and trips and undergo a training program designed to improve the ability to adjust movements quickly. Researchers will compare older adults to younger adults to see if age affects the ability to adjust movements quickly and recover balance after a slip or trip. Researcher's will also compare the performance of older adults before and after the training program to see if balance recovery improves.
