The present study evaluated effects of exercise training on the proprioception sensitivity, postural stability, and the likelihood of slip-induced falls. Eighteen older adults (6 in balance, 6 in weight, and 6 in control groups) participated in this study. Three groups met three times per week over the course of eight weeks. Ankle and knee proprioception sensitivities and postural stability were measured. Slip-induced events were introduced for all participants before and after training. The…

Proprioceptive activities to postural balance of the elderly - systematic review

The association of static and dynamic activities can contribute to the improvement of functional abilities, but it cannot be affirmed that they are specific for postural control, given the lack of standardization of exercise protocols and evaluation tools.

Lower extremity kinematics during forward heel-slip

Lower extremity movements, such as the ankle, knee, and hip rotations, which could contribute to falls from forward heel-slipping are investigated to demonstrate possible causes for slip-induced falls.

Age-Related Decline of Wrist Position Sense and its Relationship to Specific Physical Training

It is demonstrated that aging is associated with a decline in proprioceptive bias in distal arm joints, but age does not negatively affect proprioception precision, and specific types of long-term dance related training may attenuate age-related decline.

It is argued that fatigue plays a more important role than simple task duration in causing the observed increases in sway, and hence decreases in postural stability.

THE EFFECT OF AGE AND ACTIVITY ON KNEE‐JOINT PROPRIOCEPTION

It is found that proprioception is diminished with age and that regular activity may attenuate this decline, and the Penny and Giles electrogoniometer is a reproducible device for measuring knee joint angles in both young and elderly subjects.

Postural strategies associated with somatosensory and vestibular loss

The hypothesis that cutaneous and joint somatosensory information from the feet and ankles may play an important role in assuring that the form of postural movements are appropriate for the current biomechanical constraints of the surface and/or foot is supported.

The effect of a 4-week comprehensive rehabilitation program on postural control and lower extremity function in individuals with chronic ankle instability.

Results demonstrate postural control and functional limitations exist in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and rehabilitation appears to improve these functional limitations.

TMFSE in sitting appears to be an option for exercise in patients with mild to moderate knee OA, and may be an especially attractive option for patients who may have pain with weight-bearing exercises.

It is suggested that plyometric activities may facilitate neural adaptations that enhance proprioception, kinesthesia, and muscle performance characteristics in female swimmers if they are implemented earlier into shoulder rehabilitation programs.

Visual, vestibular and somatosensory contributions to balance control in the older adult.

Age- and pathology-related changes in the relative contributions of visual and somatosensory inputs to dynamic balance control were evaluated and indicated that older adults were less stable under conditions in which peripheral vision was occluded and ankle somatosensation was limited.
