Does the research demonstrate a carryover from ActiveStep simulator training to overground walking?
Yes, Dr. Grabiner’s research demonstrated that step recovery training using ActiveStep carried over to over-ground walking. Specifically, when a group of healthy, elderly adults were tested after the last training session, the rate of falls in an over-ground tripping situation was reduced from 25% to <1% (n=53) following 4 sessions of ActiveStep training over 2 weeks.
