Age-related differences in time-limit performance and force platform-based balance measures during one-leg stance

Rubens Alexandre da Silva, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: The test-retest reliability and sensitivity to group differences regarding the time-limit (TLimit) of one-leg standing and selected balance parameters obtained with a force platform in older and young adults were found to be acceptable and sensitive to differences in balance performance between older andYoung adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Back muscle strength and fatigue in healthy and chronic low back pain subjects : A comparative study of 3 assessment protocols

Rubens Alexandre da Silva, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2005 - 
TL;DR: The electromyography fatigue indices revealed that the Sorensen fatigue test and UPP produced more fatigue in the back muscles than the LIF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of different types of exercise on postural balance in elderly women: A randomized controlled trial

Márcio Rogério de Oliveira, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: All modalities investigated such as the MT, AG and GG were significantly efficient in improving the postural balance of elderly women after 12 weeks of training, providing further evidence concerning exercise and balance for promoting health in elderly women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Back muscle fatigue of younger and older adults with and without chronic low back pain using two protocols: A case-control study.

Rubens Alexandre da Silva, +7 more
- 01 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: This study was sensitive to discriminate that individuals with CLBP did present significantly more pronounced EMG back fatigue than people without CLBP, in both younger and older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of trunk extensor fatigue on the postural balance of elderly and young adults during unipodal task.

Rodolfo Borges Parreira, +5 more
- 30 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: A significant effect of trunk extensor muscle fatigue on postural control was demonstrated, which was more evident in young adults than in the elderly, as well as to determine the time necessary to recover posture control after fatigue.
