Summary

This study tests three methods—mechanical, visual, and auditory—to safely recreate stumbles and slips in 20 volunteers (prosthetic users and able-bodied people). The goal is to find which method best mimics real-life trips without causing injury, so future fall prevention training can be more effective. Participants will rate how realistic and safe each method feels.
