Handgrip strength and balance in older adults following withdrawal from long-term use of temazepam, zopiclone or zolpidem as hypnotics Handgrip strength and balance in older adults following withdrawal from long-term use of temazepam, zopiclone or zolpidem as hypnotics. BMC Geriatr. 2014;... J ...
Sensor-based interventions (SI) have been suggested as an alternative rehabilitation treatment to improve older adults’ functional performance. However, the effectiveness of different sensor technologies in improving gait and balance remains unclear and
The purpose of this study was to analyze the electromyographic and kinematic characteristics of postural responses of 24 healthy older adults both prior to and immediately after a multisensory balance training period. It was hypothesized that the muscle and movement characteristics of postural responses ...
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...
[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...
Risk for falls in older adults has been associated with falls efficacy (self-perceived confidence in performing daily physical activities) and postural balance, but available evidence is limited and mixed. We examined the interaction between falls efficacy and postural balance and its association with ...
Falling is a leading cause of serious injury, loss of independence and nursing-home admission in older adults [1]. Previous research investigating exercise as a means of falls prevention in older adults has shown mixed results. A number of studies have shown that exercise can help to prevent ...
摘要: Examines the effects of standing balance training in improving the balance ability of a group of healthy older adults. Components of training program; Inter-task training transfers; Effect of training on sensory integration; Influence of age or disease; Comparison to other training programs....
The aims of this study were (i) to define the relationship between a physical reconditioning cycle using balance exercises and muscular-articular stress and the balance capabilities of sedentary older adults and (ii) to assess whether older adults with weaker equilibrium abilities have a significantly...
