Kinematic differences exist between transtibial amputee fallers and non-fallers during downwards step transitioning.
BACKGROUND Stair negotiation is biomechanically more challenging than level gait. There are few biomechanical assessments of transtibial amputees descending stairs and none specifically related to falls. Stair descent may elicit more differences than level gait in amputees with and without a previous falls history. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the gait kinematics of fallers...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 کاملAnkle muscle strength discriminates fallers from non-fallers
It is well known that center of pressure (CoP) displacement correlates negatively with the maximal isometric torque (MIT) of ankle muscles. This relationship has never been investigated in elderly fallers (EF). The purpose of this study was thus to analyze the relationship between the MIT of ankle muscles and CoP displacement in upright stance in a sample aged between 18 and 90 years old that i...
متن کاملBalance, gait, functionality and strength: comparison between elderly fallers and non-fallers
BACKGROUND Accidental falls are a major health problem related to aging and affect one in every three elderly individuals over the age of sixty. OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the muscle strength, gait kinematics parameters, and performance in functional tests between elderly subjects with and without a prior history of falls. In addition, the association between the history of falls and t...
متن کاملImpairments in balance discriminate fallers from non-fallers in COPD.
BACKGROUND Preliminary evidence suggests individuals with COPD exhibit deficits in balance. Further investigation of balance and risk of falls is warranted in these patients. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical measures that discriminate fallers from non-fallers among patients with COPD. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was used. Subjects>60 years with COPD attende...
