Is ActiveStep only a research tool?
No, ActiveStep, based on 15 years of research, is a highly controllable simulator developed as a clinical intervention that focuses on training the critically important stepping response. ActiveStep provides: • TASK SPECIFIC TRAINING IN A REHABILITATION SETTING: ActiveStep delivers dynamic postural perturbations that require compensatory stepping responses to avoid falling after a trip. Improvements in compensatory stepping responses can be learned in as few as four training sessions over a two week period, • SKILL RETENTION: the stepping skills that are learned during ActiveStep training are retained for greater than one month (Gatts et al., 2008, unpublished). • CLINICALLY RELEVANT SKILL TRANSFER TO OVERGROUND WALKING: ActiveStep training reduced the incidence of laboratory-induced trip-related falls by more than 95% – which is both statistically significant and clinically important.
