Cognitive impairment-related changes in postural sway increase fall risk among older adults. Better understanding this association could be helpful for prevention.To examine the center-of-pressure (COP) velocity with cognitive status and history of falls, cognitively healthy individuals (CHI), patients mild impairment (MCI), mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (MMAD).Six hundred eleven community-dwellers (77.2 ± 7.9 years; 51.8% men) were separated into CHI, MCI, MMAD participants. By...
This study investigated the effects of obesity on attentional resources allocated to postural control in seating and unipedal standing.Ten non obese adults (BMI = 22.4±1.3, age 42.4±15.1) 10 adult patients 35.2±2.8, 46.2±19.6) maintained stability a force platform two tasks (seated unipedal). The were performed (1) alone (2) dual-task paradigm combination with an auditory reaction time task (RT). Performing RT together one was supposed require some that allowed estimating cost control. 4...
Falls are common in the elderly, and potentially result injury disability. Thus, preventing falls as soon possible older adults is a public health priority, yet there no specific marker that predictive of first fall onset. We hypothesized gait features should be most relevant variables for predicting fall. Clinical baseline characteristics (e.g., gender, cognitive function) were assessed 259 home-dwelling people aged 66 to 75 had never fallen. Likewise, global kinetic behavior was recorded...
A robotic harness optimizing gravity-dependent gait interactions enables natural locomotion across activities of daily living in people with spinal cord injury or stroke.
Obese people suffer from postural deficits and are more subject to falls than their lean counterpart. To improve prevention post-fall rehabilitation programs, it seems important better understand the posturo-kinetic disorders in daily life situations by determining contribution of some key factors, mainly morphological characteristics physical activity level, apparition these disorders. Twelve severe android obese eight healthy non adults performed a reaching task mobilizing whole body....
Physiological aging leads to a progressive weakening of muscles and tendons, thereby disturbing the ability control postural balance consequently increasing exposure risks falls. Here, we introduce simple easy-to-use neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) training paradigm designed alleviate deficit in elderly, first hallmarks which present as functional impairment. Nine pre-frail older women living long-term care facility performed 4 weeks NMES on their plantarflexor muscles, seven...
