The current trial will provide data on how the iStoppFalls ICT-based exercise intervention affects balance (e.g., sway), strength (e.g., lower extremity strength), ADL (e.g., gait velocity), cognition (e.g., attention), health (e.g., quality of life), and rate of falls.
Risk-factor analysis of high school basketball player ankle injuries: a prospective controlled cohort study evaluating postural sway, ankle strength, and flexibility.
Falls risk will be measured with the short-form Physiological Profile Assessment (PPA) [ 18] which includes five validated measures of physiological falls risk (visual contrast sensitivity, postural sway, quadriceps strength, reaction time and lower limb proprioception).
Main Outcome Measures: Lower-limb muscle strength, sway, vision, lower-limb sensation, reaction time, foot-tapping speed, and falls.
17 dancers and four apprentices sway with suaveness, strength, passion, virtuosity--they would make Graham proud with their emotional intelligence.
Mostly null associations were observed between OP pesticide use and electrophysiological tests, hand strength, sway speed, and vibrotactile threshold.
Methods: Participants completed a neurological physical examination (NPx) and electrophysiological tests as well as tests of hand strength, sway speed, and vibrotactile threshold.
Further, the combination of vitamin D supplementation and exercise training in elderly without COPD improved gait speed, body sway, and muscle strength [ 194].
Based on a participant's performance in five physiological domains postural sway, reaction time, strength, proprioception, and vision the PPA computes a falls risk score (standardized score) that has a 75%% predictive accuracy for falls in older people [ 34, 35].
Based on a participant's performance in five physiological domains – postural sway, reaction time, strength, proprioception, and vision – the PPA computes a falls risk score (standardized score) that has a 75%% predictive accuracy for falls in older people [ 20, 22].
Opinion in West Cumbria has been respectful of Sellafield's huge economic importance since the 1950s but public meetings were swayed by the strength of scepticism from geologists.
