Abstract

Abstract Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effect of combined turning and balance training on ground reaction force (GRF) characteristics during walking and turning in older men.Methods: Thirty older men were selected and randomly divided into two equal experimental (EG: age = 65.47 ± 2.50 years; BMI = 24.57 ± 0.68 kg/m2) and control (CG: age = 65.80 ± 2.34 years; BMI = 24.72 ± 0.64 kg/m2) groups. EG participants completed 12 weeks of training. Kinetic data were recorded using the force plate.Results: After the training, there was a significant difference between the EG and CG in the peak of GRF components and related time parameters as well as the required coefficient of friction in all directions. There was a significant decrease and increase in the stance time and loading rate respectively after the training in EG.Conclusions: The results showed improvement in gait and turning performance of older men. Therefore, combined exercises with emphasis on the turning components for older men are recommended.

联合训练对老年男性行走和转身动力学的影响

摘要目的:本研究旨在探讨旋转与平衡联合训练对老年男性行走和旋转过程中地面反作用力(GRF)特征的影响。方法:选取30例老年男性，随机分为两组(年龄= 65.47±2.50岁;BMI = 24.57±0.68 kg/m2)和对照组(CG:年龄= 65.80±2.34岁;BMI = 24.72±0.64 kg/m2)组。EG参与者完成了12周的培训。利用测力板记录动力学数据。结果:训练结束后，EG与CG在GRF分量峰值及相关时间参数、各方向所需摩擦系数上均有显著差异。EG训练后，站立时间和负重率分别显著降低和增加。结论:结果显示老年男性的步态和转身性能有所改善。因此，建议老年人进行侧重于转动部件的组合锻炼。

期刊介绍： This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
