Flowchart of the number of the participants in various phases of the study. Of 269 older adults (≥65 years) recruited from communities around the Greater Chicago Area, 51 participants did not continue due to poor bone density, five due to poor mobility, and one due to poor cognition/memory. The remaining 212 were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The intervention in the initial session consisted of repeated exposure to a total of 24 slips for the training group, whereas the control group only experienced a single slip. In the next 12 months, 142 of them completed the falls monitoring program, and the results from 67 and 75 participants were analyzed for the training group and the control group, respectively.
