Effects of an unstable shoe construction on balance in women aged over 50 years
2010, Clinical BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :Numerous interventions have been tested as a means of maintaining or improving balance in older adults. These include general exercise programs (Lord et al., 1993; Lichtenstein et al., 1989; Brauer et al., 2008), water exercise (Kaneda et al., 2008), Tai Chi (Xu et al., 2005), dance (Wallmann et al., 2009; Alpert et al., 2009) and training on unstable platforms (Nordt et al., 1999; Waddington and Adams, 2004). Balance intervention programs have focused on measuring different aspects of balance.
Evaluation of circumferential pressure as an intervention to mitigate postural instability induced by localized muscle fatigue at the ankle
2009, International Journal of Industrial ErgonomicsCitation Excerpt :These measures do not account for dynamic characteristics nor do they capture subtle aspects of postural control. Such measures have, however, been shown to be sensitive to the effects of age (Prieto et al., 1996), sensory conditions (Lord et al., 1993), and LMF (Yaggie and McGregor, 2002). Additionally, COP-based measures have been shown to be predictive of falling risk (Fernie et al., 1982).
The effect of a single session submaximal aerobic exercise on premotor fraction of reaction time: An electromyographic study
2008, Clinical BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :Age, gender, level of physical fitness, educational status of the subjects; exercise intensity, type and duration; difficulty of tasks used to measure RT and time (during exercise, after exercise) and methods to measure RT vary to a great extent among studies. Most of the studies use computer based methods to measure RT instead of electromyography (Lord et al., 1993; Lord and Castell, 1994; Arcelin et al., 1998; Brisswalter et al., 1997; Arcelin and Brisswalter, 1999; Collardeau et al., 2001a,b; Whitehurst, 1991). Such techniques yield total reaction time rather than premotor time (Crabtree and Antrim, 1988).
