Overview

Randomized trial examines balance control decline in early old age women, suggesting significant sensory impairments.

Key Points

  • This study aims to identify changes in balance control organs in women entering early old age and assess the detection of these changes.
  • Conducted on 141 women, including 41 elderly (65.5 ± 4.6 years) and 100 young (20.7 ± 1.2 years).
  • Used dynamic posturography with Sensory Organisation Test (SOT), Motor Control Test (MCT), and Adaptation Test (ADT).
  • Analyzed displacements of the body's Centre of Gravity and latencies during balance tests.
  • Elderly women showed significantly greater displacements of the Centre of Gravity in all SOT conditions.
  • MCT latencies differed significantly between elderly and young women across all conditions.
