Computerised dynamic posturography in women with knee osteoarthritis

The aim of this study was to compare the postural control women with knee OA and healthy peers determine effect on control. Thirty-two individuals, sixteen osteoarthritis(52.12±10.69)and women(51.00±10.00)who were same age (±3yr), evaluated as measured by a NeuroCom EquiTest. Outcomes included equilibrium scores, sensory analysis ratios, sway energy score, latenciesfrom organisationtest, motor test, adaptation testandwere examined using independent t-test.Equilibrium scores (in condition 1: p=0.030, 3: p=0.019, 4: p=0.045, 5: p=0.010, 6: p=0.041, Composite value: p=0.011), strategy score (Strategy p= 0.015), ratios (vestibularratio: p=0.013 managementratio: p=0.023), latencies (largeforward: p=0.020 comprehensivelatency: p=0.016) significantly better in group. presence had an impact system's effectiveness its utilization Lower values for group evidence larger displacements center gravity forward–backward direction suggesting that unable maintain balance compared controls. Also, displayed longer neuromuscular response latency perturbations, indicating reduced ability begin recover quickly following unexpected disturbance. This observation should be taken into account fall prevention, especially, individuals place dynamic situations conflicted environment, these are found daily life.
