Challenging Balance Programs for Older Adults Functioning at a High LevelLewis, CaroleMcAllister, LindaGeriNotes
As impaired muscle strength and balance are risk factors for falls, we examined the effects of hypnotic withdrawal on handgrip strength and balance in older adult outpatients during and after long-term use of temazepam, zopiclone and zolpidem (here collectively referred to as "benzodiazepines")....

There is limited normative, objective data combining musculoskeletal fitness (MSF), balance and physical activity (PA) among older adults. The aims were therefore to; 1) describe MSF and balance in older Norwegian adults focusing on age- and sex-related differences; 2) investigate the associations...
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 ...
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, ...
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...
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....

Recently, digital games controlled by real-time body movements (exergames) have been proposed as an innovative method to improve balance among older adults. One of the main challenges for exergames is to automatically quantify balance du... V Soancatl,Jasper J Van De Gronde,C J C Lamoth,.....
