Does the functional reach test reflect stability limits in elderly people?
OBJECTIVE To explore how the Functional Reach test correlates with the displacement of the centre of pressure and whether the test is a measure of the stability limits in healthy elderly people. Also to explore the performance parameters during the Functional Reach test. DESIGN Method comparison study. SUBJECTS Twenty-seven healthy elderly subjects. METHODS Whole body kinematics (ELITE sy...
متن کاملComputerized Functional Reach Test to Measure Balance Stability in Elderly Patients With Neurological Disorders
BACKGROUND The ability to maintain static and dynamic balance is a prerequisite for safe walking and for obtaining functional mobility. For this reason, a reliable and valid means of screening for risk of falls is needed. The functional reach test (FRT) is used in many countries, yet it does not provide some kinematic parameters such as shoulder or pelvic girdles translation. The purpose was to...
متن کاملMulti-directional Reach Test: An Investigation of the Limits of Stability of People Aged between 20–79 Years
[Purpose] The multi-directional reach test (MDRT) is a simple, inexpensive, reliable and valid screening tool for assessing the limits of stability in the anterorposterior and mediolateral directions. The aim of this study was to quantify the limits of stability of people aged between 20 and 79 years using the MDRT. [Subjects] One hundred and eighty subjects were divided into the following 6 ag...
متن کاملDoes the asthma control test reflect inflammation?
The present issue of Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine includes a paper by Bora et al. [1] investigating the relationship between the asthma control test (ACT) and airway inflammation. In a group of stable asthmatic patients admitted to a pulmonary outpatient clinic, the authors carried out the ACT, pulmonary function tests, methacholine bronchial provocation test (MBPT), fractional exhale...
متن کاملReliability in the Parameterization of the Functional Reach Test in Elderly Stroke Patients: A Pilot Study
BACKGROUND Postural instability is one of the major complications found in stroke survivors. Parameterising the functional reach test (FRT) could be useful in clinical practice and basic research. OBJECTIVES To analyse the reliability, sensitivity, and specificity in the FRT parameterisation using inertial sensors for recording kinematic variables in patients who have suffered a stroke. DES...
