A Prospective Study of Laboratory and Clinical Measures of Postural Stability to Predict Community-Dwelling Fallers
TL;DR: A combination of measures reflective of different aspects of mediolateral postural stability during a rapid step task, quiet stance, and movement to the limits of stability were best able to predict faller status, with nonfallers better predicted than fallers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multimedia patient education program provided with trained health professional follow-up was shown to reduce falls among cognitively intact hospital patients, with a 52% probability the complete program was both more effective and less costly (from the health service perspective) than providing usual care alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Interacting Effects of Cognitive Demand and Recovery of Postural Stability in Balance-Impaired Elderly Persons
TL;DR: The ability to recover balance using a feet-in-place response was more attentionally demanding in balance-impaired than in healthy elderly persons and dual-task performance may contribute to postural instability and falls in Balance-IMpaired elderly individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hip strategy for balance control in quiet standing is reduced in people with low back pain.
TL;DR: The inability to control a hip strategy indicates a deficit of postural control and is hypothesized to result from altered muscle control and proprioceptive impairment.

Changes in Postural Stability in Women Aged 20 to 80 Years
TL;DR: In this article, a study of postural stability was undertaken to identify the relationship between vision and support surface across age decades, showing that women in their 60s and 70s were more unstable than younger women in bilateral stance on a firm surface with the eyes closed.
