Filter by:For this experiment, it was planned to randomly assign 40 female college aerobics athletes to two groups: a traditional physical training group (control group, T, N=20) and a functional training group (experimental group, F, N=20). The control group will use traditional physical training methods, while the experimental group will use a training program based on the FMS functional movement design. The experimental group was scheduled to undergo a 12-week FMS functional movement training intervention, with each session lasting 40 minutes. Before and after the experiment, the subjects' FMS scores, body posture control, and competition performance will be measured.
The main aim of this study is to unravel the biomechanics of postural balance reactions during head-motion perturbed standing and walking in older adults who fall, while integrating the influence of frailty, sensory functioning and cognitive processing.
Having a neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis (MS) leads to difficulties in balance and gait with or without concurrent performance of cognitive tasks, hindering activity performance and influencing the possibilities for an independent lifestyle. The investigators have adapted a previously developed balance training program to a highly challenging program specifically directed to MS (HiBalance-MS). This program was recently tested and found feasible in a pilot study. The investigators will now perform a randomized controlled trial in people with MS, in order to determine the effects of the program. The hypothesis is that progressively challenging balance exercise programs that are specific to the balance control domains affected by MS will be effective to improve balance control, walking, motor-cognitive performance, activity performance and health related quality of life.
- The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of telerehabilitation for fall prevention. - Participants are randomly assigned to telerehabilitation group or control group. - Both the telerehabilitation and control groups will receive fall prevention education. - In addition, both groups will receive a fall prevention exercise brochure that includes instructions on how to perform the exercises, the recommended repetition and number of sets. - The telerehabilitation group engages in two exercise sessions per week for a duration of 12 weeks at home. The session will be led by a physical therapist via telerehabilitation (LINE video call). - All participants are advised to perform exercise for a total 3 days/week and record in the log book. - Participants are evaluated for balancing abilities using tests including: Timed Up and Go test, Five times chair stand, Single leg stance, Gait speed, Number of fall at 3 month, 6 month, 1 year.
The goal of this study [type of study: clinical trial] is to was planned to investigate the effect of motor imagery training given to geriatric individuals with action observation on their balance performance and to compare these two methods. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with action observation and motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in improving static balance than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 2. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with action observation and motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in improving dynamic balance than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 3. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in increasing balance confidence than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 46 geriatric individuals will be randomized into 2 groups. Along with action observation, motor imagery training and virtual reality-based balance training will be given to the study group. On the other hand, only virtual reality-based balance training will be given to the control group. All assessments will be repeated before and after the trainings. The trainings will be applied 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Each training session; 25 minutes for the control group and 45 minutes for the study group.
The goal of this intervention study was to test balance ability and quality of life in older adults with gait problems. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can the balance ability of elderly people with gait disorders be improved through Tai Chi intervention? 2. Whether Tai Chi intervention can improve the quality of life of elderly people with gait disorders. Participants will be divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group will undergo 12 weeks of Tai Chi intervention, while the control group will maintain daily habits, including simple walking or stretching activities.
Evaluation of healthy young adults regarding balance, core strength/core stability and physical fitness. Correlation of primary outcome parameters and selected secondary parameters.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain activity during current visual and auditory tasks for balance control. The participants will perform cognitive, gait, and balance measures before the data collection to exclude people with neurological disorders. The participants will wear VR headset which provides visual tasks. The participants will need to maintain balance while performing concurrent visual and auditory tasks. The brain activities, reaction time, and eye-tracking data will be collected during doing our experimental tasks.
