Evaluating the Role of Learning and Experience on Postural Response and Fall Prevention in Offshore Environments

Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are a major concern in occupational environments, accounting for a significant portion of all reported work-related injuries. These concerns are even greater in moving environments, like those of Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore petroleum industry. This proposed research aims to address the industry’s STF concerns through analysis of worker’s postural responses […]

Evaluating the effectiveness of perturbation-based training programs on the development of postural responses to continuous multidirectional perturbations

Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are a major concern in occupational environments, accounting for a significant portion of all reported work-related injuries in Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore petroleum industry. Perturbation-based training has been shown as an effective measure in developing appropriate postural responses for young and older adults. This proposed research aims to address the […]
