The Effects of 6 Weeks of Balance Training on Static and Dynamic Balance of Blind Students
Background and Purpose: Visual disturbance causes problems in the orientation, balance, and movement of individuals. It is especially important in children because this is a golden age for adoring physical exercises and physical function in these people. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of 6 weeks of balance training on the static and dynamic balance of blind students. Materi...
متن کاملMorphological changes during early trans-tibial prosthetic fitting.
Morphological changes in the amputation stump may have serious implications regarding the suspension and fit of the prosthetic socket. In an earlier study (Lilja and Oberg, 1997) the authors have shown that the volume of the trans-tibial amputation stump decreases according to a negative power function after amputation, and that the stump volume does not stabilise until four months after the op...
متن کاملEffects of rigid and soft foot orthoses on dynamic balance in females with flatfoot
Abstract Background: Various types of foot orthoses are prescribed for people with flatfoot. It has been reported that orthoses not only improve the biomechanics of the lower limb, but also have good effects on some balance parameters in these subjects. It is hypothesized that the latter effect is dependent on the rigidity of the orthoses. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the ...
متن کاملEffects of a flat prosthetic foot rocker section on balance and mobility.
Previous studies have shown that the effective rocker shape of the physiologic ankle-foot system during standing and fore-aft swaying is much flatter than that used during walking, which indicates a more stable base of support for the standing/swaying activity. Previous work suggests that flat regions within the effective rocker shapes of prosthetic ankle-foot systems could provide enhanced sta...
متن کاملThe Effect of 12 Weeks Functional Training on Dynamic Balance in Healthy Older Women
Objectives: Falling in the elderly is common and dynamic balance has direct effect Abstract on it. Therefore, we decided to study the effect of functional training on dynamic balance in healthy elderly women. Methods & Materials: Thirty healthy elderly women were purposefully selected as subjects and then randomly divided into two equal groups (control and experimental groups). The dynamic ...
