Stepping is often the last protective option to prevent a fall. This study will first modify and validate an interactive system for training stepping ability in older adults. The system will be also provide the capability of acquiring indeices of stepping ability in the home. We will investigate the effect of an in-home training program using this system on stepping ability and falls risk. Findings will inform future interventions for preventing falls.

踩踏往往是防止跌倒的最后一种保护措施。本研究将首先修改和验证一个互动系统，用于训练老年人的踏步能力。该系统还将提供在家中获取踏步能力指标的能力。我们将调查使用该系统的家庭训练计划对步行能力和福尔斯风险的影响。研究结果将为未来预防福尔斯的干预提供信息。
