Rapid Assessment of Age-Related Differences in Standing Balance
As life expectancy continues to rise, in the future there will be an increasing number of older people prone to falling. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for comprehensive testing of older individuals to collect data and to identify possible risk factors for falling. Here we use a low-cost force platform to rapidly assess deficits in balance under various conditions. We tested 21 healthy ol...
متن کاملAge-related differences in the sympathetic-hemodynamic balance in men.
As humans age, the tonic level of activity in sympathetic vasoconstrictor nerves increases and may contribute to age-related increases in blood pressure. In previous studies in normotensive young men with varying levels of resting sympathetic nerve activity, we observed a balance among factors contributing to blood pressure regulation, such that higher sympathetic activity was associated with l...
متن کاملAge-related changes of single-limb standing balance in children with and without deafness.
OBJECTIVE The purposes of the present study were to elucidate the age-related changes in single-limb standing balance and sensory compensation for maintaining single-limb standing in profoundly deaf (PD) children, and to compare them with age-matched normal-hearing (NH) children. METHODS This study involved 57 PD children, aged 4-14 years and 57 age-matched NH children. Each group was subdivi...
متن کاملAssessment of standing balance in patients after ankle fractures.
PURPOSE The objective of the study is to evaluate the degree of balance disorders in patients with surgical treatment of ankle fractures with the use of stabilometric examinations. METHODS The subjects in the study were 21 patients with ankle fractures treated surgically, within one year of the procedure. The control group comprised 20 healthy subjects. The balance was evaluated with the use ...
متن کاملThe Multivariate Largest Lyapunov Exponent as an Age-Related Metric of Quiet Standing Balance
The largest Lyapunov exponent has been researched as a metric of the balance ability during human quiet standing. However, the sensitivity and accuracy of this measurement method are not good enough for clinical use. The present research proposes a metric of the human body's standing balance ability based on the multivariate largest Lyapunov exponent which can quantify the human standing balanc...
