A Plantar Perceptual Learning Exercise to Improve the Standing Balance of Elderly People
نویسنده
چکیده
It is well known that decreased standing balance increases the risk of falling, and it has also been reported to reduce everyday activity and be linked to disuse syndrome [1]. A previous study had shown that even among elderly people, the standing balance stability of a group who had a fall was significantly lower than that in a non-fall group [2]. Thus, an elderly person’s ability to maintain a standing posture is an important factor in ensuring safety during the activities of daily life.
