Repeated chair stands as a measure of lower limb strength in sexagenarian women.
BACKGROUND Despite inadequate empirical validation, sit-to-stand (STS) performance is often used as a proxy measure of lower limb strength among older adults. Furthermore, the relationships between bilateral isokinetic hip, knee, and ankle joint strength and their contributions to STS performances among older adults have not been established. The authors evaluated these relationships on 2 STS t...
متن کاملThe Effect of Lower Limb Resistance Exercise with Elastic Band on Balance, Walking Speed, and Muscle Strength in Elderly Women
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an 8-week resistance exercise program on balance, walking speed, and muscle strength in elderly women. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed on 50 elderly women aged 60-66 years who were assigned to two groups of experimental and control. The Time Up and Go test, was used to measure dynamic balance, Rombe...
متن کاملthe effect and persistence of Otago exercise program on balance, cardiovascular endurance and lower limb strength in elderly women with a history of falls
Introduction: Impaired balance is one of the consequences of aging that causes disruption and inability to function in these people and also causes the elderly to fall. All of this increases the importance of preventing the risk of falls for the elderly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect and persistence of Otago exercise program on balance, cardiovascular endurance and...
متن کاملGait and lower limb muscle strength in women after triple innominate osteotomy
BACKGROUND In adult patients with developmental hip dysplasia, a surgical procedure (triple innominate osteotomy) of the pelvic bone can be performed to rotate the acetabulum in the frontal plane, establishing better acetabular coverage. Although common clinical hip scores demonstrate significant improvements after surgery, they provide only overall information about function. The purpose of th...
متن کاملRelationship between lower limb neuromuscular performance and bone strength in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether neuromuscular performance predicts lower limb bone strength in different lower limb sites in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Neuromuscular performance of 139 volunteer women aged 50-68 with mild knee OA was measured using maximal counter movement jump test, isometric knee flexion and extension force and figure-of-eight-running...
