Evidence for a Selectively Regulated Prioritization Shift Depending on Walking Situations in Older Adults
Background: Older adults have increased risks of balance issues and falls when walking and performing turns in daily situations. Changes of prioritization during different walking situations associated with dual tasking may contribute to these deficits. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate whether older adults demonstrate changes of prioritization during different walking pa...
متن کاملInterventions to Improve Walking in Older Adults.
Interventions to improve walking in older adults have historically been multifactorial (i.e. strengthening, endurance and flexibility programs) focusing on improving the underlying impairments. These impairment-based programs have resulted in only modest improvements in walking. In older adults, walking is slow, less stable, inefficient, and the timing and coordination of stepping with postures...
متن کاملThe effect of weather on walking behavior in older adults.
In this article, the authors examine how temperature and precipitation affect the probability that a retired American between the ages of 65 and 90 walks at least 2.5 hr/wk, using longitudinal data on walking frequency from the Consumption and Activities Mail Survey, a subpanel in the Health and Retirement Survey. Walking behavior is linked with monthly temperature and precipitation data from w...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cognitive Training on Lower Limb Muscular Activity in Older Adults With Balance Impairment During Walking
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two different approaches of dual-task training and executive training on lower limb muscular activity in older adults with balance impairment. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study performed with the pre-test and post-test method. Thirty older adults (age= 73.8±4.6, height= 1.65±0.06, weight= 69.17±12.67) were randomly ass...
متن کاملEffect of Foot Orthoses on the Timing of Lower Limb Muscles Activity during Walking in Older Adults
Introduction: As a person gets older, their gait patterns change and their ability to walk decreases. Orthoses are used to relieve musculoskeletal disorders, skeletal problems, disabilities, etc. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of orthoses on timing of lower limb muscles in the older adults during gait. Methods: The present study was a clinical trial. 14 females ...
