This study aimed to test the hypothesis derived from a previous report suggesting that improving walking ability can reduce the occurrence of foot position errors, such as stepping on the accelerator instead of the brake. We implemented a supervised walking ability improvement program in a group of 30 elderly participants and analyzed its effects. Over a 12-week period with at least three sessions per week, the training program significantly improved balance function and walking ability, leading to a significant reduction in foot position errors. Additionally, the study confirmed that the elderly responded positively to the program.
