Fall Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Lower Limb Positive Pressure on the Balance of Community-dwelling Older Adults
With the onset of the sixth decade in life, degenerative processes affect the neuromuscular system in terms of losses in muscle strength (dynapenia) and muscle mass (sarcopenia). Neural (e.g., numerical loss of alpha motoneurons) and morphological factors. Borde et al. 123 number and size of particularly type-II muscle fibers), as well as their interaction, are responsible for age-related declines in muscle strength and mass. There is evidence that muscular weakness is highly associated with impaired mobility and an increased risk for falls. Moreover, lower extremity muscle weakness was identified as the dominant intrinsic fall-risk factor with a five-fold increase in the risk of falling. An anti-gravity treadmill allows users to walk or run in a reduced body weight environment. The user walks or runs on a treadmill belt surrounded by an enclosed, air-filled chamber. When air pressure increases, an upward force offloads the weight of the runner and decreases the percentage of body weight (BW%) experienced upon foot impact. So, a research question was developed in our mind after the literature review. Is there any effect of AGT training on fall risk of older adults?
