The goal of this study is to learn about how hearing loss impacts balance intervention outcomes and risk of falling in older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the evidence-based A Matter of Balance (AMOB) program affect older adults' falls risk and balance-related measures? - Is the severity of someone's hearing loss related to their balance intervention (AMOB) outcomes? Participants will: - Complete a hearing and balance test - Answer some questions about their background and health history, their thoughts about potential falls and how this impacts them, and their current physical activity level - Participate in the A Matter of Balance Program, an evidence-based program that includes group discussion, activities, and exercises to reduce fall risk
Prospective, controlled, randomized, non-masked longitudinal research project for the realization of a doctoral thesis, based on an intervention with virtual reality in order to assess whether the influence on balance and the oculomotor muscles is positive. The introduction of new technologies in the field of medicine in all fields, and in particular the rehabilitation is fully in place and under development. There are numerous examples like these technologies, including virtual reality (VR), have helped different health fields such as surgery or physiotherapy. The main aim of the study is to analyze these factors and analyze the way in which virtual reality (VR) can modulate the convergence of the gaze and can influence the center of pressure (COP). As secondary objectives es proposes to analyze the interrelationship between the VR and the COP to analyze the clinical possibilities of application in the field of rehabilitation, whether due to a downward (oculomotor) or upward alteration (COP alteration), as well as if physical activity or gender can also influence.
Occupational competence indicates participating in a variety of occupations to meet the standards expected of the individuals' valued roles to sustain a pattern of occupational attitudes that is significant and satisfying. Physical performance declines with age. This causes problems with balance and falling. Balance and falling losses can also affect occupation. Our study was conducted to examine the relationship between physical performance and occupational balance in elderly individuals. According to the power analysis, it is planned to include the individual in the study. Individuals will only be evaluated and the relationship between scale results will be analyzed statistically.
This randomized controlled trial will investigate the hypothesis that since balance and executive functions (EFs) require a similar neural circuit and EFs are recruited when trying to maintain balance, that training balance might improve EFs as well as balance. There will be an active control condition (watching music videos) and a no-treatment condition. Children (18-12 years old) will be randomly assigned to one of these conditions for 12 weeks (36 per condition). The balance and music conditions will involve 15-min sessions 3x/week and a weekly check-in session with an investigator. Participants will be assessed pre-intervention, immediately post and 3-months post.
Balance impairment increases the risk of falling and is associated with a fear of falling and immobility. Balance impairment can ultimately affect the morbidity of cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, and mortality, especially in an older population. Among the multiple types of exercise, balance training is the most effective in preventing falls. This study aims to investigate white matter plasticity in healthy elderly population, based on stepwise balance training. Healthy elderly participants will undergo four weeks of balance training. The investigators will analyze longitudinal changes in the microstructural integrity of the white matter tracts pre- and post-training.
In this study, it is aimed to evaluate different ankle functions and postural control variables in university level volleyball players and students with stable ankles and to examine the results obtained. In this way, we aim to contribute to the physiotherapy and rehabilitation literature and clinical studies of physiotherapists who are interested in athlete health. The hypothesis set in this study is: H0: There is no difference between ankle functions and postural control variables of volleyball players and healthy controls. H1: There is a difference between ankle functions and postural control variables of volleyball players and healthy controls.
Intense pain and moderate disability are seen most patients with symptomatic cervical disc herniation (CDH). Since neck motion and motor control are associated with changes in neck pain and disability, it is highly likely that patients with neck pain related disability would display dual-task interference (DTI) during postural control with a cognitive task. It is very important for patients with cervical disk herniation to perform more than one task at the same time for many activities of daily living. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare balance performance in dual task between patients with CDH related chronic neck pain and asymptomatic controls.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of Vestibular Rehabilitation for improving balance and quality of life of patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (SFM). Recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or control group (placebo). The experimental group will receive a standard Vestibular Rehabilitation program focused on eye stabilization and Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) gain with the aim of improving motor and sensory strategies, while the control group will carry out a conventional rehabilitation program that will not include sensory strategy training. The frequency of treatment for both groups will be twice/week, along with daily performing (2 times/day, 5 days/week) of exercises at home. The total duration will be 8 weeks. The outcome measure are: disease impact (FIQ), perceived vertigo (DHI), and confidence in balance (ABC), at pre-treatment, post-treatment, one month follow-up and three months follow-up.
Investigation will consist of measuring before and after applying nerve mobilization exercise. Measurements will be made on the same day without the need to go at another time. In this study, participants will be asked to stand on a pressure platform several times in a relaxed manner and with eyes open and closed before and after a neuromeningeal mobilization technique indicated for the treatment of pain in your feet. Measurements or tests to be carried out are totally innocuous and do not carry any risk to your health and integrity. Participants will have to remain barefoot for a maximum of 30 seconds, a total of 8 times on a pressure platform
