Study design flowchart. Following initial screening and consent, participants will undergo an initial assessment to confirm eligibility and facilitate group allocation. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either perturbation training or the control group. Immediately following completion of the training period, participants will repeat assessment of functional balance and mobility and balance confidence. Participants will then complete 12 months of regular falls and activity reporting. Participants will receive ‘booster’ training sessions 3 and 9 months after the initial training period. An interim follow-up assessment and final follow-up assessment will occur 6 and 12 months following the initial training period
