Posturographic measures did not improve the predictive power to identify recurrent falls in community-dwelling elderly fallers

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to evaluate if posturography can be considered a recurrent fall predictor in elderly individuals. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 124 subjects aged 60 to 88 years were evaluated and divided into two groups-the recurrent fallers (89) and single fallers (35) groups. Patients' sociodemographic characteristics were assessed, and clinical testing was performed. The functional test assessment instruments used were timed up and go test (TUGT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS),… Show more

“…[19][20][21][22][23] Recent reports provided no consensus regarding accuracy or cost-effectiveness of CDP for FRA but showed other tests, including the Timed Up-and-Go, are more accurate and less expensive. [19][20][21][22] Despite low-quality evidence, providers may be incentivized to use CDP for FRA by Medicare initiatives. FRA is a required element of Welcome to Medicare and Annual Wellness visits.…”

“…También el enfoque debe darse mayormente en el valor de área del COP por sobre la velocidad de desplazamiento de éste, dado que se describe una mayor precisión de la WBB en la trayectoria (que determina el área del COP) por sobre la velocidad medida 20 . Por otro lado, se debería usar un mismo equipo para obtener resultados más confiables, ya que está descrito que la incertidumbre de localización del COP entre distintos equipos de WBB es de ± 4,1 mm versus ± 1,5 mm en una misma plataforma WBB [20][21][22][23][24] , así como la fiabilidad entreplataformas es de 47% vs 88% en test-retest en misma WBB en sujetos sanos 25 .…”

“…Por último, se debe tener en cuenta que, si bien las características que hemos descrito favorecen su uso clínico en varios ámbitos, no reemplaza en la función diagnóstica a los métodos de evaluación tradicional del equilibrio, ya que carece de la misma exactitud, precisión y confiabilidad de los dispositivos médicos 21 . Pero como virtud principal, permite guiar con objetividad los procesos de rehabilitación vestibular y del equilibrio de casos en los que ya se ha realizado el proceso diagnóstico, utilizándola de forma complementaria a otros métodos de evaluación 8,22,23 .…”

“…Enhancements involving dual tasking (manual and cognitive conditions) help sharpen the test. Although a cognitive version has shown significant correlations with fall events ( 82 ), the dual-tasking mode of walking and counting might be challenging for patients with limited numeracy skills.…”
