Fall assessment in healthy older adults: Approach using rambling-trembling decomposition method
Background
This study explored useful indices of potential fall risk in healthy older adults based on comprehensive clinical and simple quantitative posturographic measurements.
Methods
A total of 64 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥65 years were classified into fallers and non-fallers based on previous fall history. After excluding two participants due to missing data, 16 and 46 participants were included in the faller and non-faller groups, respectively. We conducted major clinical measurements, including timed up and go test, 10-m walk test, functional reach test, one-leg stand test, isometric muscle strength tests, open-close stepping test, and sit-to-stand test. For quantitative posturographic measurements, participants performed standing tasks with their eyes open and closed. In the standing tasks, the time series of the center of pressure in the anteroposterior and mediolateral directions were measured and decomposed into rambling and trembling components to evaluate postural control in detail, separately. The mean velocity and root mean square of the center of pressure, rambling, and trembling were calculated and compared between fallers and non-fallers.
Findings
A significant fall-related difference was found only in the mean velocity of the rambling in the anteroposterior direction; fallers displayed greater values than non-fallers, especially while standing with their eyes closed.
Interpretation
The clinical measures failed to distinguish differences in fall risk, whereas the rambling component in the anteroposterior direction could detect substantial differences. The mean velocity of the rambling component could be useful as a sensitive screening biomarker for potential fall risks in healthy older adults.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
