About This Trial
This is an assessor-blinded neurophysiological study. Participants will be randomly assigned to a perturbation-based training (PBT) or a walking (control) group. Changes in postural stability and neurophysiology in the brain following PBT compared to walking exercise without perturbation will be investigated.
