Effect of Auditory Input on Sensory Organization and Fall Risk in Young Adults With Hearing Aids
The aim of this study was to document postural control, sensory organization, and fall risk parameters of auditory input using computerized post urography in bilaterally hearing‐aided young adults. It was observed that auditory input had a positive contribution to postural control and fall risk in young adult hearing aid users.

Determination of factors affecting exercise capacity in community‐dwelling elderly people
Abstract Rationale Exercise capacity declines with age. However, the effect of common geriatric symptoms, that are related to physical performance, on exercise capacity is unclear. Aims The study aimed to determine the impacts of sarcopenia, frailty, balance, and depression on both overall and abnormal exercise capacity.

Age-related changes in postural control in older women: transitional tasks in step initiation
Background Aging, being a natural process, involves many functional and structural changes within the body. Identifying the age-related postural changes will provide insight into the role of aging on postural control during locomotion.
