<ns3:p>Background During hospitalisation, older adults are at risk of developing functional decline unrelated to the condition for which they were admitted. The loss independence in least one activity daily living is referred as hospital-associated disability (HAD). A hospitalised people associated with a greater nursing home placement and increased caregiver burden after hospital dismissal. It essential raise awareness HAD problem among patients implement adequate preventive treatment...
Hip muscle weakness in older people seems to be an influencing factor of falls. Currently, it is unclear which muscles out the hip group play important role people. A validating process measurement regarding strength related falls necessary before answering that question.Firstly, we aimed investigate shows acceptable level distinction between adult fallers and non-fallers compared a predefined external criterion falling. Secondly, compare same outcomes questions for hand-grip relation...
In elderly individuals an increased muscle strength contributes to the diminution of falls risk and associated adverse events. An increasing interest in lateral control exists due fatal consequences postero-lateral falls. Therefore a proper assessment frontal plane hip is important but remains challenging. we aimed investigate feasibility repeatability abductor adductor maximum voluntary isometric (MVIS) rate force generation (RFG) test elderly. This represents initial step development...
Introduction Bariatric surgery leads to loss of fat and fat-free mass (FFM). To preserve FFM it is recommended that weight interventions are accompanied by physical activity. However, remains unknown if functional capacities spontaneously improve after a substantial loss. Study’s aim was assess the effect bariatric on strength, quality life participants with body index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m 2 . Method Anthropometric parameters (weight, BMI, waist circumference), functions (quadriceps walking...
Diminished hip abductor strength decreases postural control which is a parameter that associated with an increased risk of ankle sprains. In our study we evaluated the influence fatigue on sagittal plane kinematics and shank muscle activity during single-leg forward jump. Sagittal are important in sprains but less studied than frontal kinematics. Therefore, differences (12-camera motion capture system) lower limb surface electromyographic 20 healthy, recreationally active adults (9 females,...
Reduced hip muscle strength has been shown to be a major factor related falls in older persons. However, comprehensive assessment of abduction the clinical setting is challenging. The aim this study was investigate feasibility and intra-rater reliability quick simple abductor test functional standing position. Individuals over 65 years age were recruited from geriatric department university hospital an outpatient clinic. Thirty-two subjects, including 16 fallers (≥1 fall during last 12...
Early detection of fall risk in persons older than 65 is clinical relevance, but the diagnostic accuracy currently used functional tests (eg short physical performance battery [SPPB] and timed up go test [TUG]) to assess persons' risks remains moderate. Recent literature highlights importance strong hip abductors prevent falls. We thus aimed abductor strength measures risks.Hip maximum voluntary isometric (ABD MVIS), rate force generation RFG), SPPB TUG assessments were assessed 60...
In den vergangenen Jahren hat es immer wieder Veränderungen gegeben, die sich auf Veröffentlichungsprozess ausgewirkt haben, wie zum Beispiel Anforderungen an eine Studienregistrierung, zur Ethik oder Anwendung von Publikationsstandards [1]. Auch das Joint Editorial „Statistical inference through estimation: recommendations from the International Society of Physiotherapy Journal Editors“ (ISPJE) gibt Anlass, für Veröffentlichungen in physioscience anzupassen (S. 52). Diese werden mit einer...
Abstract Background Persons aged ≥ 65 years are currently the world’s fastest growing age group. An important complication of is increasing risk falls. Falls have multifactorial etiology and modifiable factors open for interventions in prevention rehabilitation, high interest. In this context, strong hip abductors seem to be prevent A newly adapted measurement device measure abductor strength (HAS) a closed chain position was developed. We aim assess feasibility, intra- inter-tester...
