Filter by:The study aims at investigating the effects of an early sleep window after Action Observation Therapy (AOT) on balance in elderly. Forty-five healthy-like elderly will be enrolled and randomized into 3 groups (AOT-sleep, AOT-control and Control) performing a 3-week AOT. AOT-sleep and AOT-control will be asked to watch video-clips showing motor contents before sleeping or at least 12 hours before sleeping, respectively, whereas Control will be asked to watch landascape video-clips before sleeping. Participants will be assessed before and after training and at 1 month follow-up for balance outcomes.
While there are many studies examining the effect of different exercises on spasticity and balance activities in individuals with stroke, no study has been found on the effect of speed-based re-learning training on spasticity and balance activities. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether the WBV treatment protocol determined has an effect on functional capacity and respiratory functions in individuals with stroke. In this sense, our study was planned to investigate the effect of speed-based motor learning training on spasticity characteristics and balance activities in stroke patients.
To compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques and perturbation-based balance training on risk of falls and quality of life in elderly population.65 to 85 years old age both male and female participants experienced fall greater than1 time in last 1 year is included in this study.Two groups in this study group A will receive proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques and group B will receive pertubations based balance training.berg balance scale,time up and go test quality of life scale and Modified John Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool will be used for pre and post assessment.
Hearing impairment is common in older adults, and recent research points to associations between hearing impairment and balance/mobility. The association may be due to more attentional resources being used to compensate for the sensory loss, with less resources available for maintaining balance. The aim of this projects is therefore to investigate whether an exercise program with focus on motor-cognitive tasks is feasible for older adults with hearing impairment. The study is meant as a proof-of-concept study, where trialling will be evaluated, and results will be used to inform the design of a larger and adequately powered study.
Low back pain (LBP) is an important musculoskeletal problem that causes clinical, social and economic losses. LBP, which affects approximately 85% of the lifetime population, becomes chronic LBP in 23% of individuals lasting 3 months or more. Although there are various forms of LBP, the most common form is non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). There are no specific and definable pathologies in NSLBP such as a history of spinal surgery, presence of neurological deficit, facet joint problem, disc herniation and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY) (BBS) is a device used for objective evaluation of static and dynamic balance, allowing free movement in mediolateral and anteroposterior directions. The validity-reliability studies of the BBS were conducted in various populations including active, non-active, young adult and geriatric individuals, and individuals with ankle sprains. The validity-reliability study of individuals with NSLBP was reported by Sherafat et al. has a strong-excellent correlation with four-square step test, timed-up-and-go test, Berg Balance Scale, and single leg stance test. Studies have emphasized the use of BBS in geriatric individuals with NSLBP, but no data on the cut-off scores of this system have been found. The determination of a cut-off score with high sensitivity and specificity is thought to be beneficial for detecting deterioration in functional status in geriatric individuals with NSLBP. Therefore, the aim of our study is to determine BBS cut-off scores in geriatric individuals with NSLBP.
