Brief Summary

Postural control of human body is a complex process involving visual , vestibular, somatosensory system and their central processing , add the vestibular system through its multiple connection coordinates movements of the head with movement of the eyes (to maintain clear vision ), trunk , and limbs (to maintain cephalic and postural stability ) via vestibulo-ocular and vestibulo-spinal reflexes respectively Global postural control shows alterations with aging increasing the chance of falls in the population aged 60 years or older, In older adults, poor postural balance can indicate an impaired ability to recover from small postural perturbations and be predictive of future falls

Conditions

Effect of Aging on Postural Stability

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: CASE_CONTROL
• Study Time Perspective: PROSPECTIVE

Interventions

computerized dynamic posturography (sensory orgnization test)

assess of an individual's ability to maintain static and dynamic stance. The assessment is composed of a battery of tests that are similar to everyday conditions of daily living. There are four main components to CDP that are used clinically: the Sensory Organization Test (SOT),

Intervention Type: DEVICE
