简要总结
The purposes of this project to examine whether older adults can learn safe landing strategy during a fall. The research hypotheses are three-fold: 1) To determine whether older adults can learn a safe landing strategy to reduce impact severity of falling; 2) To examine whether the training effect on the right side falls can be transferred to the left side falls; and 3) To examine 1-week and 3-month retention effect of fall strategy training in older adults.

研究组 & 干预措施
Fall Exposure
An instructor will implicitly be exposed to the falling technique. Each group will have 4 sessions to physically practice the skills with each practice session lasting about an hour.
干预措施: Fall Exposure (Other)
Control
Written instructions will be provided on the correct way to fall without physical practice.
Tuck and Roll Group
An instructor will explicitly verbally and visually demonstrate the falling technique and provide feedback on participant performance. Each group will have 4 sessions to physically practice the skills with each practice session lasting about an hour.
干预措施: Tuck and Roll Group (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Safe Landing Strategy
时间窗: 1-week and 3-months post
To determine whether older adults can learn a safe landing strategy to reduce impact severity of falling through a composite outcome from the following measures: 1. Forceplate measurements (CueFors2, Motek Medical) 2. Motion capture (VICON, Oxford Metrics) 3. Inertial sensor (BioStampRC, MC10) 4. Short-term skill acquisition (Aim 1) will be quantified as change in hip impact force between baseline and post assessments on visit 4
