Challenging Balance Programs for Older Adults Functioning at a High LevelLewis, CaroleMcAllister, LindaGeriNotes
These results indicate that balance is correlated with FF, however, it is not always correlated with DPA in older adults. Consequently, activities that challenge balance controlling systems should be incorporated more in DPA in old age.Mohammod M. Islam...
Approximately 35% of community-dwelling older adults1 and 39% of individuals living with Parkinson’s disease (PD)2 fall at least once per year. Risk of falling has been shown to limit participation in daily activities among older adults and may increase one’s risk of falling.3 Many patient...
Background/Objective Physical function, the ability of an individual to carry out physical tasks, is meaningfully related to health among older adults. Few studies have analyzed temporal trends in objective performance measures of physical function for older adults. The aim of this study was to esti...
Therefore, it is crucial to improve balance control in order to improve the balance-related activities for individuals with stroke. Several elements, such as strengthening, postural control, weight shifting, and agility exercise, are necessary to be incorporated during balance training17. It has also...
3. Delay in onset of arm reactions and slowing of arm movement: Older adults show delays in the time taken to initiate and complete a compensatory grasping reaction, and this tendency is predictive of falling [25]. In order to train faster reaction and movement times for grasping reactions, ...

We recruited 65 community-dwelling older adults (mean age = 73.52 years 卤 5.66; 87.7% female) at two-time points (mean interval = 177.66 days 卤 80.33) to evaluate longitudinal changes in step count, perceived fear of falling (Short Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I)), and ...
[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of an aqua aerobic therapy exercise for older adults on biomechanical and physiological factors affecting gait. [Subjects] A total of 15 subjects participated in this study and they were randomly divided into the experimental an...
Physical impairment and disability: relationship to performance of activities of daily living in community-dwelling older men. The decline of physical function of older adults, associated with loss of independent living status, is a major public health concern. The purpose of this ... JS Brach,...
