OUR NEXT SPEAKER
09 December 2025 - Walking Safely
Yoshi Okubo PhD
Walking Safely: Empowering Older Adults to Stay Active and Fall-Free
In this talk on falls prevention, Yoshi will explore practical strategies to help you stay safe and steady on your feet. He will focus on
- how to minimize trips and slips,
- key causes of falls, and
- how to improve your reactive balance - the ability to recover quickly if a slip or trip happens unexpectedly.
By working on balance and strength, you can improve your body's natural responses and increase your chances of preventing a fall.
He will also share tips on how to walk safely to reduce the risk of tripping, keeping you active and independent for longer.
Dr Yoshi Okubo completed his PhD (Sports Medicine) at the University of Tsukuba, Japan in 2015. He is a Senior Research Fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia and a Conjoint Senior Lecturer at UNSW Sydney, School of Population Health. His research interest includes falls, balance/gait, exercise, perturbation training, augmented and virtual reality. Dr Okubo has developed an innovative Trip and Slip Walkway which is a breakthrough approach for elucidating the mechanisms of trip- and slip-induced falls, effective stepping strategies and motor skill learning fundamental to effective fall prevention in older adults.
Guests are always welcome.
