Musculoskeletal Equilibrium Clinical Trial
Official title:
Feasibility Study of Short-Term Effects of Chiropractic Manipulation on Older Adults With Impaired Balance
To study the effect of chiropractic care and a specific exercise program on balance in older adults.
Fall prevention in older adults is a significant public health issue that all health care providers must address. At this time, chiropractors, the most commonly used complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners, have not been systematically involved in either interventions for or research related to fall prevention and risk factor reduction. However, it is possible that body-based CAM practitioners such as chiropractors might make important contributions to decreasing fall risk through affecting musculoskeletal function and managing chronic pain, factors which may affect balance, an important risk factor for falls. ;
