OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a 12month program of regular exercise can improve
balance, reaction time, neuromuscular control, and muscle strength and reduce the rate of …

Design. A comprehensive search of electronic databas-es was performed from earliest
record to February 2010. All study designs that contained a measure of muscle strength or …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between foot problems, balance, and
functional ability in communitydwelling older people and to determine whether older …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of an intervention by a multidisciplinary team to reduce
falls in older people's homes. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled trial with followup of …

Muscle strength is a potentially important factor contributing to postural control. In this article,
we consider the influence of muscle weakness on postural instability and falling. We …

There is no clear consensus on definition, cut-points or standardised assessments of
sarcopenia. We found a lower limb strength assessment was at least as effective in …

We investigated the effects of ageing on balance corrections induced by sudden stance
perturbations in different directions. Effects were examined in biomechanical and …

Background Aging is associated with metabolic, physiologic, and functional impairments, in
part through age-related changes in body composition. During the later adult years, skeletal …

Background Falls are a major health care problem for older people and are associated with
cognitive dysfunction. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an increasingly recognized clinical …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and efficacy of an exercise protocol designed to
improve strength, mobility, and balance and to reduce subsequent falls in geriatric patients …
