Background. The purpose of this study was to analyze the electromyographic and kinematic
characteristics of postural responses of 24 healthy older adults both prior to and immediately …

Background. The effects of standing balance training on the ability to maintain stability in
both static two-leg and oneleg stance were tested in healthy older adults. Methods. Subjects …

Objective The objective of this study was to analyze the efficacy of multisensory versus
muscle strengthening to improve postural control in healthy community-dwelling elderly …

Objectives: postural disturbances can arise from performing functional tasks and from
external perturbations. Identification of sensorimotor factors associated with both types of …

subjects standing on a periodically moving platform. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2000; 81: 1217 …

Background. The purpose of this study was to identify some critical factors whose functional
changes with age in the neuromusculoskeletal systems would potentially relate to the …

Maintaining one's balance requires the integration of the somatosensory, visual, and
vestibular systems. Age-related decline in one or more of these systems limits the sensory …

The kinematics of standing balance were analyzed in 24 normal subjects, aged 21 to 78
years, to examine differences attributable to age, visual input, and sex. Movements of …

Background. Recently, several studies have reported age-associated increases in muscle
coactivation during postural control. A rigid posture induced by strong muscle coactivation …

Background and Purpose Age-related changes in proprioception contribute to impairments
in postural control and increased fall risk in older adults. The purpose of this randomized …
