The assessment was conducted after a 1 hour lunch break from thefinal slip and trip or sham training session. Participants were told thatslips and trips may occur anywhere on the walkway. All participantswere instructed to walk while matching the metronome and target steptiles adjusted to 95% of normal step length and 95% of normal cadence (thus 90% of their normal gait speed) and this was confirmed bya blinded assessor. Different to the training protocol, at least four normalwalks were completed prior to exposure to the first perturbation testand at least one washout normal walk was included between perturbations (each presented in a different location). This assessment protocolwas designed to ensure a consistent approach gait and increase unpredictability; therefore mitigating the possibility of an “unfair advantage”for the intervention group. Two nonfriction 70 cm slips and two 14 cmheight trips (triggered by the foot detection sensor at 50 ms prior to footarrival and delivered at 50% swing phase) were administered in a predetermined pseudorandom order and locations
