Evaluation of balance in fallers and non-fallers elderly.
UNLABELLED Falls present a substantial health problem among the elderly population. Approximately one-third of community-dwelling people over 65 years of age will experience one or more each year. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate balance between fallers and non-fallers elderly. STUDY DESIGN Clinical study. METHODS We studied 30 subjects older than 65 years of age. 15 su...
متن کاملAnkle muscle strength discriminates fallers from non-fallers
It is well known that center of pressure (CoP) displacement correlates negatively with the maximal isometric torque (MIT) of ankle muscles. This relationship has never been investigated in elderly fallers (EF). The purpose of this study was thus to analyze the relationship between the MIT of ankle muscles and CoP displacement in upright stance in a sample aged between 18 and 90 years old that i...
متن کاملImpairments in balance discriminate fallers from non-fallers in COPD.
BACKGROUND Preliminary evidence suggests individuals with COPD exhibit deficits in balance. Further investigation of balance and risk of falls is warranted in these patients. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical measures that discriminate fallers from non-fallers among patients with COPD. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was used. Subjects>60 years with COPD attende...
متن کاملHip muscle and hand-grip strength to differentiate between older fallers and non-fallers: a cross-sectional validity study
Background Hip muscle weakness in older people seems to be an influencing factor of falls. Currently, it is unclear which muscles out of the hip muscle group play an important role in older people. A validating process in the measurement regarding muscle strength related to falls is necessary before answering that question. Objective Firstly, we aimed to investigate which hip muscle group str...
متن کاملThe reliability of postural balance measures in single and dual tasking in elderly fallers and non-fallers
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of a forceplate postural balance protocol in a group of elderly fallers and non-fallers. The measurements were tested in single and dual-task conditions, with and without vision. METHODS 37 elderly (mean age 73 +/- 6 years) community-dwellers were included in this study. All were tested in a single (two-legged stance) and i...
