“…This suggested that it took more effort to maintain participants' stability during dynamic balance. Moreover, it was observed that frail elderly people presented significant differences in static balance in comparison to healthy counterparts, but not in dynamic balance (Fujita et al, 2015). Altogether, this suggests that the major determinant for a hypothetical fall or risk of falling might be static balance.…”

The aim of this study was to develop a confirmatory model, using structural equation modeling, to describe and explain the fear of falling in elderly women. Forty-one participants (67.69 ± 5.30 years) were selected to test a theoretical model. The final model revealed that the fear of falling is related to impaired balance (dynamic and static). Strength has a positive effect on both dynamic and static balance. Strength depends on bone mineral density. In conclusion, more strength and bone mineral density and better body balance tend to decrease the fear of falling.

“…In the posture control system, ankle strategy, hip strategy and stepping strategy are combined in the movement to avoid falling, but the results of our study might only indicate the ability related to ankle strate- gy. Fujita et al (2015) found the physically frail older adults have lower SB and DB when compared to healthy and untrained older adults. The range in which the COG can be moved in an anterior or posterior direction decreases with age (Ono and Ryushi, 1999).…”

To compare elderly non-fallers and fallers for differences in the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction for Balance (CTSIB) and Limits of Stability (LOS). Six hundred forty-six older women volunteers (69.5 ± 6.1 yr) participated in the study. Static and dynamic balance were assessed. The static balance (SB) indices in CTSIB were analyzed for four sway velocity conditions: a flat surface with eyes open (SV1); a flat surface with eyes closed (SV2); thick foam with eyes open (SV3); and thick foam with eyes closed (SV4), and composite scores (SVcomp) calculated based on all of conditions. The LOS components (endpoint excursion (EPE), maximum excursion (MXE), directional control (DCL), reaction time (RT), and movement mean velocity (MVL)) as a dynamic balance index were analyzed based on movements toward all eight targets, and composite scores. The fall incidence within the past 1 year was studied via questionnaire survey (faller = 172, non-faller = 474). There were significant differences in mean age and height between faller and non-faller groups. No significant differences were found in all balance indices between groups compared by age-adjusted ANCOVA. From the CTSIB and LOS measurement adopted in this study, no difference was observed between older fallers and non-fallers. However, in order to evaluate the presence or absence of falls based only on the balance ability, further measures such as examination by combining indicators are required. It is necessary to perform prospective studies to track the occurrence of falls after the balance ability assessment in the future.

“…This increased reliance on cognitive processes could be the reason why steady-state balance tasks become more susceptible to cognitive manipulations, such as mental fatigue, within this population. However, since balance abilities vary among older adults (Fujita et al, 2015), the susceptibility of steady-state balance tasks to the effects of mental fatigue may also differ within this population, depending on their individual abilities. Older adults displaying signs of frailty may potentially experience a more pronounced increase in postural sway during steady-state balance tasks due to mental fatigue.…”

The role of cognition in balance control suggests that mental fatigue may negatively affect balance. However, cognitive involvement in balance control varies with the type or difficulty of the balance task and age. Steady-state balance tasks, such as quiet standing, are well learned tasks executed automatically through reflex activities controlled by the brainstem and spinal cord. In contrast, novel, and challenging balance tasks, such as proactively controlling balance while walking over rugged terrain or reacting to unexpected external perturbations, may require cognitive processing. Furthermore, individuals with pre-existing balance impairments due to aging or pathology may rely on cognitive processes to control balance in most circumstances. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effect of mental fatigue on different types of balance control tasks in young and older adults. A literature search was conducted in seven electronic databases and 12 studies met eligibility criteria. The results indicated that mental fatigue had a negative impact on both proactive (under increased cognitive load) and reactive balance in young adults. In older adults, mental fatigue affected steady-state and proactive balance. Therefore, mentally fatigued older individuals may be at increased risk of a loss of balance during steady-state balance task compared to their younger counterparts.
