Study Summary
Poor balance is one of the major risk factors for falling in older adults. A Matter of Balance (MOB) is one of the most commonly used fall prevention programs nationally. Despite its name, MOB focuses on managing concerns about falling, and does not include a balance component. We are testing to see if adding a dual-task balance component (balance and mental thinking) to MOB can improve balance and walking better, than MOB only.
Primary Outcome
Balance will be assessed using LEGSys™ (Locomotion Evaluation and Gait System, BioSensics LLC) wearable technology. This system uses five sensors attached to right and left anterior shins, right and left anterior thighs, and to the posterior lower back. Balance measures will include changes in sway of ankle, hip, and center of mass (COM) in both mediolateral (ML) and anterior/posterior (AP) directions while standing, with feet parallel and in semi-tandem positions, during eyes-open (EO) and eyes
