Motion Analysis of Balance Pre and Post Sensorimotor Exercises to Enhance Elderly Mobility: A Case Study

Quantitative assessment of movement using motion capture provides insights on mobility which are not evident from clinical evaluation. Here, in older individuals that were healthy or had suffered a stroke, we aimed to investigate their balance terms changes body kinematics and muscle activity. Our research question involved determining the effects post- compared pre-sensorimotor training exercises maintaining improving balance. hypothesis was would improve gait by increasing joint angles extensor activities lower extremities spatiotemporal measures stroke elderly people. This manuscript describes capture-based evaluation protocol assess parameters (cadence, step length walking speed), as well major flexor activities. We also conducted case study participant (male, age, 65) an with chronic (female, 55). Both participants performed task along path rectangular shape included tandem forward, right side stepping, backward, left stepping starting location. For participant, improved completion time 19 s. Her impaired leg (by 0.197 m) cadence 10 steps/min) when 12 backward. The non-impaired forward 15 backward 27 steps/min). range (ROM) did change most cases. However, ROM hip increased significantly 5.8 degrees (p = 0.019) whereas ROMs knee 4.1 0.046) 8.1 0.007) during walking. significant only found his having 4.2 0.031) ankle 5.5 0.006) stepping.
