“…The remaining eight studies consisted of fallers [15], institutionalised [16, 17], osteoarthritic [18], diabetic [19, 20] and diabetic peripheral neuropathic [21, 22] populations. Four trials included only women [16, 18, 23, 24].…”

“…Eight trials utilised resistance exercise tasks, whereby five were water based [18, 23, 27, 32, 33], two used vibration [17, 20], and one trial evaluated stair climbing [34] exercises. Five trials employed multi-component interventions, including strength and balance [16, 35, 36], strength and tai chi [24], and therapeutic exercises and jumping [28].…”

“…The number of trials for each condition ranged from one [29, 30, 33, 35, 36] to ten [32], and trial duration ranged from 8 s [24] to 75 s [29]. The force platform or measurement equipment sampling frequency ranged from 5 Hz [28] to 1000 Hz [17], but was not reported by nine trials [15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 26, 27, 33]. Seven studies reported the use of a digital filter on the COP signal [20, 23, 30, 31, 34, 36, 37].…”

“…All trials performed measurements in double leg stance, and eight trials performed measurements in single leg [18, 23, 24, 34], narrow [20, 31] and semi-tandem [23, 37]. One trial performed double leg stance on a foam surface [37], and two trials reported measurements collected during dual tasking [17, 35]. …”

Effectiveness of Exercise Interventions to Improve Postural Control in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses of Centre of Pressure Measurements

BackgroundPrevious reviews have shown balance in older adults to be improved with exercise. However, it is currently unclear whether postural control, indicated by centre of pressure (COP) measurement, can be improved in older adults and thus whether postural control could be a mechanism to improve balance.ObjectivesThe purpose of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of force platform COP variables to identify changes in postural control following exercise interventions in older adults. In addition, a secondary purpose was to determine whether the exercise types (balance, resistance or multi-component exercise interventions) are equally effective to improve postural control.MethodsRandomised controlled trials were identified using searches of databases and reference lists (PROSPERO registration number CRD42014010617). Trials performing exercise interventions, reporting force platform COP measurements, in participants with a mean age of ≥60 years were included. Risk of bias assessments were performed following the Cochrane guidelines. Data were pooled in meta-analyses, and standardised mean differences (SMDs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.ResultsTwenty-three trials met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Twenty-two trials could be defined as either utilising a balance, resistance or multi-component exercise intervention. These 22 trials were used in the meta-analyses. All trials reported measurements of double leg stance; eight trials reported additional stance conditions. The meta-analyses of double leg stance showed that balance exercise interventions significantly decreased total sway path length/velocity [SMD −1.13, 95 % CI −1.75 to −0.51 (eyes open); SMD −0.79, 95 % CI −1.33 to −0.26 (eyes closed)] and anterior-posterior sway path length/velocity [SMD −1.02, 95 % CI −2.01 to −0.02 (eyes open); SMD −0.82, 95 % CI −1.46 to −0.17 (eyes closed)] in both eyes open and eyes closed conditions. Balance exercise interventions also decreased sway area in eyes closed conditions (SMD −0.57, 95 % CI −1.01 to −0.13) and medio-lateral sway path length/velocity in eyes open conditions (SMD −0.8, 95 % CI −1.48 to −0.12). In contrast, neither resistance nor multi-component exercise interventions affected any of the included COP measurements.ConclusionsPostural control is improved by balance exercise interventions. In contrast, strength or multi-component exercise interventions did not influence postural control measurements in older adults. In addition, a lack of standardisation in collection protocol and COP variables calculated across trials was identified.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s40279-016-0559-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…30 Furthermore, our results are consistent with the effects of WBV in individuals with other conditions. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Moreover, a recent RCT demonstrated that the complimentary use of WBV improved the rehabilitation results in patients after lung transplantation. 31 From our study, it is not entirely clear how WBV improves exercise capacity in PAH.…”

ObjectiveIn patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), supportive therapies may be beneficial in addition to targeted medical treatment. Here, we evaluated the effectiveness and safety of oscillatory whole-body vibration (WBV) in patients on stable PAH therapy.MethodsTwenty-two patients with PAH (mean PAP≥25 mm Hg and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP)≤15 mm Hg) who were in world health organization (WHO)-Functional Class II or III and on stable PAH therapy for≥3 months, were randomised to receive WBV (16 sessions of 1-hour duration within 4 weeks) or to a control group, that subsequently received WBV. Follow-up measures included the 6-min walking distance (6MWD), cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), echocardiography, muscle-power, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL; SF-36 and LPH questionnaires).ResultsWhen compared to the control group, patients receiving WBV exhibited a significant improvement in the primary endpoint, the 6MWD (+35.4±10.9 vs −4.4±7.6 m), resulting in a net benefit of 39.7±7.8 m (p=0.004). WBV was also associated with substantial improvements in CPET variables, muscle power, and HRQoL. The combined analysis of all patients (n=22) indicated significant net improvements versus baseline in the 6MWD (+38.6 m), peakVO2 (+65.7 mL/min), anaerobic threshold (+40.9 mL VO2/min), muscle power (+4.4%), and HRQoL (SF-36 +9.7, LPH −11.5 points) (all p<0.05). WBV was well tolerated in all patients, and no procedure-related severe adverse events (SAEs) occurred.ConclusionsWBV substantially improves exercise capacity, physical performance, and HRQoL in patients with PAH who are on stable targeted therapy. This methodology may be utilised in structured training programmes, and may be feasible for continuous long-term physical exercise in these patients.Trial registration numberNCT01763112; Results.

Aim:The aim of the study was to identify interventions to promote mobility that has an impact on the quality of life of people living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Design:The design of the study was a systematic review. Methods:The search was performed in September 2021 in the databases PubMed, Epistemonikos and the Cochrane Library for studies published between 2010 and 2021 in the German or English language.Results: Four studies identified improvements in mobility and quality of life. Nine of the ten included studies showed impacts of the interventions on different mobility variables. Heterogeneous variables and instruments were used to assess quality of life and, in particular, mobility, which made it difficult to compare the results of the studies. Approximately 50% of the identified studies had small sample sizes.
