Balance Training Reduces Brain Activity during Motor Simulation of a Challenging Balance Task in Older Adults: An fMRI Study [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Aging is associated with a shift from an automatic to a more cortical postural control strategy, which goes along with deteriorations in postural stability.

The effect of reactive balance training on falls in daily life: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

medRxiv, 2022
Objective: Reactive balance training is an emerging approach to reduce falls risk in people with balance impairments. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of reactive balance training on falls in daily life among individuals at increased

Is Anticipatory Postural Adjustments Focused Training Effective for Fall Prevention and Quality of Life in the Elderly? [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: Two important problems of ageing include decreased Balance Confidence (BC) and consequently decreased Quality of Life (QOL). There is a relationship between BC and QOL, and that the elderly who have more fear of falling, have a ...

Improvement in gait stability in older adults after ten sessions of standing balance training

PLoS ONE, 2022
Balance training aims to improve balance and transfer acquired skills to real-life tasks. How older adults adapt gait to different conditions, and whether these adaptations are altered by balance training, remains unclear.
