Effect of leg muscle fatigue on the contributions of the somatosensory, visual, and vestibular systems to balance

Creator:: Korioukhina, Maia O.
Abstract:: Objectives: To evaluate the effect of leg muscle fatigue on balance and to determine the contributions of the somatosensory, visual, and vestibular systems to balance of apparently healthy males and females. Design: Forty-two subjects were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups and then subdivided based on gender...

The relationship between balance and fundamental motor skills in children five to nine years of age

Creator:: Overlock, Jennifer Ann
Abstract:: The ability to establish and maintain balance is claimed to be an important prerequisite of movement tasks. However, despite this general belief, there is limited empirical evidence to support the contribution of balance in motor skill performance. Furthermore, psychometric properties of using a computerized force platform to assess balance ability...

The effects of voluntary step-training on slip recovery

Creator:: Baxter, Josh R.
Abstract:: Falls caused by slips are a major health risk to older adults and place a large financial strain on the health care system. Previous research has found that individuals can learn to recover their balance after being exposed to a series of simulated slips. However, training large numbers of older...

Preventing falls from unpredictable balance disturbances

Creator:: Welsh, Lisa R.
Abstract:: Falls, particularly those due to slips, constitute a major health risk for older adults. Past research has found that individuals can learn not to fall through repeated exposure to a slipping perturbation. Slips can be unpredictable, however. The goal of this study was to determine whether similar adaptations would occur...

Effects of whole body vibration and progressive resistance exercise on balance and lower extremity strength

Creator:: Dodge, Nathan
Abstract:: Whole body vibration (WBV) is widely used as a mechanical stimulus for neuromuscular training, and to a lesser extent, in the treatment of patients undergoing physical rehabilitation. PURPOSE: To quantify any beneficial and/or synergistic effects associated with the longitudinal administration of WBV and progressive resistance (PRE) exercise on lower extremity...

A comparison of two different balance programs

Creator:: Eisenhard, Jordyn
Abstract:: There is limited knowledge regarding differential training as it relates to balance. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance and retention of a differential training balance program and a traditional balance program. Thirty-three Division I soccer athletes volunteered to participate and 29 completed the study. Participants were...

Relationships among balance confidence, physical function, living situation and fall status in older adults

Creator:: Oberstaller, Peggy E.
Abstract:: Falls are extremely common among the older adult population, account for substantial morbidity and mortality, and are often potentially preventable. It is estimated that 9 out of 10 of hip fractures in older adults occur as the result of a fall. The economic consequences of hip fractures are estimated at...

Effects of the aging-related loss in lower extremity strength on the feasible region for balance recovery

Creator:: Kadono, Norio
Abstract:: A backward fall is a major cause of hip fractures. Hip fractures have the potential to increase the mortality rate of older adults. Thus, the prevention of backward falls by older adults is a critical subject to be studied. Specifically, it remains unknown what effect aging-related losses in muscle strength...

Evaluating balance and strength of older women in exercise programs

Creator:: Dinger, Melanie
Abstract:: Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...
