Balance Training Tools for Older AdultsUsing, EffectivelyUsing, Effectively
For all post-hoc analyses, Holms' correction for multiple comparisons was applied. Balance performance and the response to training are heterogeneous in older adults (Muehlbauer et al., 2015). Therefore, cross-sectional and longitudinal correlation analyses were performed to gain more insight into ...
Training volitional stepping might lead to improved control of the APA but would probably not improve control of lateral stability during compensatory stepping. Another example pertains to training of reaction speed. It has been shown that older adults are slower than younger subjects to lift the ...
We aimed to explore whether a training program that incorporates unexpected loss of balance during walking able to improve risk factors for falls. Methods In a double-blind randomized controlled trial 53 community dwelling older adults (age 80.1±5.6 years), were recruited and randomly allocated to...
Falls are a common cause of injuries and hospitalization among older adults. While conventional balance training appears effective in preventing falls, a relatively large number of training sessions are needed and retention of the effects after the training period is hard to accomplish. This may be ...

No apps or websites have been to RCT evaluation at the time of review. Conclusions Apps and websites have the potential to provide a convenient, cost-effective, and accessible means for many older adults to engage in strength and balance training and reduce falls risk....
PDF Tools Share Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Feldenkrais Method balance classes on balance and mobility in older adults. This was a prospective non-randomized controlled study with pre/post measures. The setting for this study was the general community. A...

Therefore, a possible explanation for our results is that the improvements induced by this type of training could reduce the need for older adults to generate compensatory oscillations, resulting in better postural balance. On the other hand, in this research, improvements in postural balance were ...
