Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2010 Ageing commonly disrupts the balance control and compensatory postural responses that contribute to maintaining balance and preventing falls during perturbation of posture. This can lead to increased risk of falling in old adults (65 years old and over).

The Effects of Chemotherapy-Induced Polyneuropathy on Postural Balance [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 While cancer prevalence and survival rates are increasing, cancer-treatment-related functional decline and decreased quality of life are on the rise. Adverse side effects such as polyneuropathy are commonly associated with neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents (i.e., taxanes or platinums) resulting in a decrease in postural balance and an increased risk ...
