Evaluation of balance in fallers and non-fallers elderly.
UNLABELLED Falls present a substantial health problem among the elderly population. Approximately one-third of community-dwelling people over 65 years of age will experience one or more each year. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate balance between fallers and non-fallers elderly. STUDY DESIGN Clinical study. METHODS We studied 30 subjects older than 65 years of age. 15 su...
متن کاملStrength, Power and Electromyographic Performance of Hip Musculature in Older Female Fallers and Non-fallers
Falling is a serious problem in the elderly, mainly due to its negative impact on the quality of life of this population and increased public health costs (Bento et al. 2010). The etiology of falls is multifactorial, so developing a broad understanding of the biomechanical and physiological factors associated with increased risk of falling in the elderly is extremely important (LaRoche et al. 2...
متن کاملPostural stability in the elderly: a comparison between fallers and non-fallers.
BACKGROUND the identification of specific risk factors for falls in community-dwelling elderly persons is required to identify older people at risk of falling. OBJECTIVE the aim of the study was to determine the ability of various biomechanical measures of postural stability to identify fallers in the elderly population. METHOD 19 subjects (78.4 +/- 1.3 years old) who reported having fallen...
متن کاملA Non Linear Scoring Approach for Evaluating Balance: Classification of Elderly as Fallers and Non-Fallers
Almost one third of population 65 years-old and older faces at least one fall per year. An accurate evaluation of the risk of fall through simple and easy-to-use measurements is an important issue in current clinic. A common way to evaluate balance in posturography is through the recording of the centre-of-pressure (CoP) displacement (statokinesigram) with force platforms. A variety of indices ...
متن کاملThe Relation of Balance Performance and Balance Confidence with Physical Activity in Elderly Fallers and Non-fallers
Balance is an important issue in aging research since it is undoubtedly linked with motor performance affecting, thus, activities of daily living and consecutively the quality of life in the elderly. Maintenance of good balance ability reduces the chance of a fall which, especially in the elderly, is not only an important predictor of mortality but also a major problem with important negative h...
