Postural sway, working years and BMI in healthy truck drivers: an observational study
OBJECTIVES The following study analyses the influence of risk factors among the occupational group of truck drivers on postural control and body mass index (BMI). DESIGN Observational study. SETTING One motorway station close to several highways in Germany. PARTICIPANTS 180 truck drivers (177 male/3 female), aged 21-65 years old, took part in this study. OUTCOME MEASURES Postural contro...
متن کاملPrediction of postural sway velocity by foot posture index, foot size and plantar pressure values in unilateral stance.
OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess whether the plantar pressure, the foot posture index (FPI) and foot size can predict the postural sway velocity in terms of postural stability in unilateral stance. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 236 feet of 118 participants (62 males, 56 females; mean age 22.1±3.1 years; range 18 to 36 years) were enrolled. The feet were classified as prone, normal and s...
متن کاملAltered postural sway following fatiguing foot muscle exercises
This study investigated the acute effects of fatiguing foot muscle exercises on the maximum muscle strength of the foot and postural control ability. Eighteen healthy young individuals performed fatiguing foot muscle strength exercises, and their toe flexor and ankle plantar flexor strength and postural control ability were measured before and after the exercises. Postural control ability was e...
متن کاملInfluence of age on postural sway during different dual-task conditions
Dual-task performance assessments of competing parallel tasks and postural outcomes are growing in importance for geriatricians, as it is associated with predicting fall risk in older adults. This study aims to evaluate the postural stability during different dual-task conditions including visual (SMBT), verbal (CBAT) and cognitive (MAT) tasks in comparison with the standard Romberg's open eyes...
متن کاملEffects of Age-Related Macular Degeneration on Postural Sway
Purpose: To compare the impact of unilateral vs. bilateral age-related macular degeneration (AMD) on postural sway, and the influence of different visual conditions. The hypothesis of our study was that the impact of AMD will be different between unilateral and bilateral AMD subjects compared to age-matched healthy elderly. Methods: Postural stability was measured with a platform (TechnoConcept...
