Filter by:Fall occurrences and the associated risk of injury are debilitating and major health concerns in the older population. Several interventions have been investigated and implemented to address the needs of balance impairments and to reduce the increased risk of falls. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Otago exercise program (OEP) and gaze stability exercises (GSE) on balance and the risk of falls in older adults residing at an old age home facility. 30 elderly participants were equally and randomly divided into two groups: Group OEP received the OEP and group GSE received GSE for eight weeks (thrice a week). In addition, both groups also performed core muscle-strengthening exercises. The Berg balance scale (BBS) and the Fall efficacy scale-International (FES-I) were the outcome measures.
The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness between game-based virtual reality intervention and conventional health education in improving older adults' balance knowledge, and let them know how to prevent falling. The intervention group will receive virtual reality games in person and read the health education flier, while the control group was assigned to read the health education flier and follow suit the video of balance exercise.
Purpose: To determine the effect of 8-week kids yoga training on balance, reaction time and agility on children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: A randomized controlled trial. The intervention (kids yoga) was an 8-week program administered to children attending a special education center by a yoga instructor occupational therapist. Outcomes included Pediatric Balance Scale, Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-Short Form, and Microgate Witty SEM System assessed at baseline and at the end of 8th week.
the study aims to compare the effect of core stabalization and rebound therapy on balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy
To determine if there is any carry over effect of sensation training for the feet, officially called Graded Motor Imagery (GMI), will impact balance and fall risk factors in older individuals. This will be looked at to see if there is a difference in balance and sensation before and right after the training.
In recent years, sports have become popular, and major gyms or private exercise studios have been opened continuously. A dazzling array of course content allows students to choose according to their preferences. Therefore, how to improve students' compliance with gyms or classrooms, and increase exercise frequency to develop exercise habits , is the current problem faced by the industry. However, in the case of limited time, the academic side is looking for more effective training courses, and the industry side is trying a variety of courses that are more attractive to the public, hoping to be different from the previous types of sports, improve the motivation of public sports, increase the frequency of exercise and then Maintain exercise habits. Compared with aerobic dance, boxing, yoga and Pilates, ballet is a niche course, but more and more studies have pointed out that ballet can effectively improve posture, improve lower limb muscle strength, and improve cognitive, executive memory, and working memory. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effect of ballet courses on lower limb explosiveness, static balance, dynamic balance, cognitive executive function and working memory of exercise studio students. degree and become one of the courses chosen by students for their classes.
This cross-sectional study aims to investigate to the impairments in body functions and structures, activities and participation restrictions according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) patients.
This study will investigate if the use of motor imagery to practice a balance task is as effective as physically practicing balance tasks as measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) in persons with MS. A secondary purpose is to investigate if using a motor imagery balance intervention will limit fatigue typically experienced with physical movement in this population.
Childhood obesity increases significantly, and determines several complications in childhood and adulthood, and the worldwide prevalence of childhood obesity has shown a rapid increase in recent decades. The severity of obesity-related risk factors is directly linked to body fat topography, and variations in body fat distribution in obese children can be of high value in predicting future health risks, like of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. There is a potential correlation between obesity and sleep disorders, increasing the predisposition to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, that is a frequent complication, affecting up to 80% of obese children and adolescents. In relation to postural control, and that anthropometric indicators interfere with children's postural balance, already verified by balance assessment using computerized dynamic posturography. Several studies show that physical activity in childhood and adolescence can influence healthy habits in adulthood. Children and youth ages 5 to 17 should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily. It is important to emphasize that the COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of healthcare delivery, and therefore Telerehabilitation has been satisfactorily addressed in reabilitation In the exercise recommendations for children, exercise programs performing aerobic and resistance exercises at a high level of intensity, on a frequent basis (3-5 days a week) for 30-80 minutes, seeking intensity of 50-90% of the maximum heart rate (HRmax), can be used and are shown to be efficient for the treatment of obesity. Therefore the High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes physical exercise that is characterized by brief, intermittent bursts of vigorous activity, interspersed with periods of rest, cab generate favorable metabolic adaptations on sleep and body weight loss. Outcome Measures: Primary Outcome Measures - The effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and high-intensity functional training (HIFT) through Telerehabilitation on body composition and Obstructive sleep apnea (assessed by body mass index and bioimpedanceand polysomnography type 4) Secondary Outcome Measures - Functional performance of children and adolescents (3 minute step test) - Balance (balance assessments with Wii Balance board) Inclusion Criteria: - Age ≥ 6 to 17 years; - Confirmed obesity children by body mass index acorrding to the age
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pain, and balance, proprioception sensation in the knee, erector spinae and multifidus muscle strength in individuals with non-specific low back pain.
