We compared neuromuscular risk factors for falls using performance-based measures (chair stand time, usual and rapid walking speed, and grip strength) among 163 Japanese women in Japan, 681 Japanese-American women in Hawaii and 9403 Caucasian women in the United States aged 65 years and over.
The patients in the current study displayed improvements in performance-based measures; chair stands was performed about 3 seconds (median 19%) faster, and the 20-m walk test about 1 second (median 5%) faster, indicating a potential efficacy of neuromuscular training.
