Top: Top-down view of walkway used for PBT slip training and lab-induced slips and trips. Middle: Time-lapse photos of PBT for slip training. Bottom: Time-lapse photos of PBT for trip training. A harness was worn during slip and trip training, and a spotter was also nearby for instruction and support. During PBT for trip training, a light-weight foam block was placed in front of the participant’s feet prior to each perturbation to promote a stepping response over an obstacle, as is necessary during actual trip recovery
