Falls study: Proprioception, postural stability, and slips.
The present study evaluated effects of exercise training on the proprioception sensitivity, postural stability, and the likelihood of slip-induced falls. Eighteen older adults (6 in balance, 6 in weight, and 6 in control groups) participated in this study. Three groups met three times per week over the course of eight weeks. Ankle and knee proprioception sensitivities and postural stability wer...
متن کاملKnee bracing for medial compartment osteoarthritis: effects on proprioception and postural control.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a functional knee brace specifically designed for patients with varus gonarthrosis on measures of proprioception and postural control. SUBJECTS Fourteen men and six women (aged 59+/-9 yr) with measurable varus alignment and osteoarthritis of the knee medial compartment. METHODS Proprioception was assessed in the sitting position using an isokinetic dynam...
متن کاملThe effect of age-related declines in proprioception and total knee replacement on postural control.
BACKGROUND An experiment was designed to examine the effects of a decrease in threshold joint position sense (TJPS) at the knee and ankle and of total knee replacement (TKR) on postural control in older adults. It was hypothesized that older adults with a decrease in TJPS and those who had undergone TKR would display increased center of pressure (COP) variance during quiet stance and late onset...
متن کاملElderly Use Proprioception Rather than Visual and Vestibular Cues for Postural Motor Control
Multiple factors have been proposed to contribute to the deficits of postural control in the elderly. They were summarized as sensory, motor, and higher-level adaptation deficits. Using a model-based approach, we aimed to identify which of these deficits mainly determine age-related changes in postural control. We analyzed postural control of 20 healthy elderly people with a mean age of 74 year...
متن کاملInfluences of arm proprioception and degrees of freedom on postural control with light touch feedback.
Lightly touching a stable surface with one fingertip strongly stabilizes standing posture. The three main features of this phenomenon are fingertip contact forces maintained at levels too low to provide mechanical support, attenuation of postural sway relative to conditions without fingertip touch, and center of pressure (CP) lags changes in fingertip shear forces by approximately 250 ms. In th...
