Arm-crank training improves postural stability and physical functioning in older people [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Arm crank ergometry (ACE) has been shown to elicit marked improvements in lower body exercise capacity among older individuals. It is currently unknown whether ACE is effective in alleviating functional consequences of aging, such as balance ...

Balancing out Bias: Achieving Fairness Through Balanced Training

open access: yesProceedings of the 2022 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2022
Group bias in natural language processing tasks manifests as disparities in system error rates across texts authorized by different demographic groups, typically disadvantaging minority groups. Dataset balancing has been shown to be effective at mitigating bias, however existing approaches do not directly account for correlations between author ...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of balance training in patients with chronic ankle instability

open access: yesSystematic Reviews
Background Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a common yet serious problem for elder patients. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of balance training for CAI, to provide evidence for the clinical treatment, and care of CAI patients. Methods

“This feels like the start of something”: storying the 2010 Exeter Occupation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Competition is, in many ways, a source related to quality in the sense that less competitive firms will be outdistanced through a balance in supply and demand. In high-risk industries, however, safety must be balanced with production, which is not always

Effect of reactive balance training involving repeated slips and trips on balance recovery among older adults: A blinded randomized controlled trial.

open access: yesThe journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2019
Background This study examined whether reactive balance training (exposures to slips and trips) could improve balance recovery and reduce perturbation-induced falls among older adults.

Virtual reality balance training for elderly: Similar skiing games elicit different challenges in balance training [PDF]

open access: yesGait & Posture, 2018
Virtual Reality (VR) balance training may have advantages over regular exercise training in older adults. However, results so far are conflicting potentially due to the lack of challenge imposed by the movements in those games. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess to which extent two similar skiing games challenge balance, as reflected in ...

Rule learning enhances structural plasticity of long-range axons in frontal cortex. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rules encompass cue-action-outcome associations used to guide decisions and strategies in a specific context. Subregions of the frontal cortex including the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) are implicated in rule ...

Views, experiences and attitudes of community-living older people towards the FIT-at-Home fall prevention programme: A qualitative interview study / Sichtweisen, Erfahrungswerte und Einstellungen von sturzgefährdeten Menschen im höheren Lebensalter zum FIT-at-Home-Sturzpräventionsprogramm: Eine qualitative Interviewstudie

open access: yesInternational Journal of Health Professions, 2021
For older people, poor balance and strength as well as environmental hazards are a major risk factor for falls. A lifestyle-integrated home-based physical exercise training and home modification intervention were developed for older people at risk of ...

Effects of Perturbation-Based Balance Training in Subacute Persons With Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesNeurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2019
Background: Reactive balance responses are critical for fall prevention. Perturbation-based balance training (PBBT) has shown a positive effect in reducing the risk of falls among older adults and persons with Parkinson’s disease.
