“…Accelerometers are used to evaluate CoM dynamic performance thank you to the sensitivity of these devices to small changes in postural control systems, and it allows us to identify early changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters. 54 , 55 Furthermore, Leirós-Rodríguez et al They have shown that the accelerometric gait assessment can detect alterations in the balance during aging, by detecting differences in women between 51 and 80 years. Their results indicate that during the aging process the velocity and acceleration are reduced and thus the reduction in speed makes the subject more susceptible to falls.…”

Background: Aging has been associated with the progressive depletion of lean mass, reductions in muscle strength and the coordination of the lower extremities, accompanied by decreased gait assurance and balance control. Also, less balance control favors falling which is the leading cause of injury among the elderly. The aim of this systematic review is to identify and evaluate existing evidence regarding the use of focused vibration (FV) to improve balance and reduce the risk of falling during the rehabilitation of elderly populations. Methods: The PICO question is what are the effects of focal/segmental/local vibration training on the assessment of balance and the risk of falls among the elderly population? A thorough literature review was conducted between May 1, 2009, and June 30, 2019, for studies in English, randomized clinical trials, including crossover and prospective design studies with assessing balance and the risk of falls in elderly populations (age > 60 years). Results: Eight articles (N = 8) satisfied the inclusion criteria and were considered, of which 6 are RTC, one cross-sectional study and one clinical study, for a total of 635 participants. A total of 6 different vibration devices were used, each of which was associated with different FV frequency and amplitude characteristics and different treatment protocols. Conclusion:In conclusion, FV can be effective in decreasing the risk of falls and improving the assessment of balance, but more evidence is necessary considering the limits of the studies; however, it does look an important promise during rehabilitative treatment.

“…Therefore, it may be desirable for future trials to include participants with reduced reach ability in standing positions. In addition, Leirós-Rodríguez et al showed that postural control and standing balance while walking may differ depending on age and gender [ 37–39 ]. It is necessary, therefore, to consider age and gender differences in future trials.…”

Objectives The purpose of the study was to examine the immediate-term effect of positive-word stimuli via a smartphone application on the multi-directional reach ability in standing position in young adults. Methods This study was an immediate-term, assessor-blinded, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial among young adults recruited from one university in Japan. Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group or control group using a computer-based random number-generating programme. Participants of the experimental group used an application on iPhone and watched 3-min videos displaying positive-word stimuli. This application repeatedly displayed positive-word stimuli every 5 s. The participants of the control group used an application on iPhone and watched the same videos as in the experimental group. However, a positive-word stimulus did not appear in the videos. The primary outcome was the multi-directional reach test (MDRT) from baseline to immediately after the intervention protocol. Results Among the 62 randomized participants (experimental group, n = 31; control group, n = 31), 62 (100%) completed the MDRT immediately after the intervention protocol. There were no differences in mean group change values in MDRT between the experimental and control groups. Conclusions Among young adults, positive-word stimuli via a smartphone application did not significantly improve multi-directional reach ability in standing position. These findings do not support the superiority of this intervention among young adults. Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03546218. Registered 6 June 2018, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03546218 KEY MESSAGES In our study, among young adults, positive-word stimuli via an SPSRS application did not significantly improve the multi-directional reach ability in the standing position. These findings do not support the superiority of this intervention among young adults.

“…No obstante, a pesar de las ventajas mencionadas del electro-goniómetro, esta herramienta no cuenta con la capacidad de registrar información adicional, relacionada con la aceleración y velocidad en movimientos desarrollados en planos y ejes específicos (40) , variables que sí son registrables a través de las IMU en posiciones estáticas, dinámicas y durante la ejecución de actividades funcionales; pudiendo dar cuenta al fisioterapeuta de la riqueza de cuantificar patrones motrices funcionales que usualmente no se miden. Lo anterior, fortalece el examen a través del empleo de test y medidas novedosas, tanto para el proceso de evaluación como de seguimiento a la intervención fisioterapéutica (41) .…”

“…Todo esto, ha reflejado la importancia que tiene la utilización de sensores inerciales en fisioterapia, demostrando la amplia gama de funciones que se les pueden dar y la confiabilidad que brindan en diferentes procesos, específicamente en la evaluación del movimiento corporal humano (6) donde contribuyen a minimizar los errores, agilizar los procesos de evaluación (7) y permitir procesos de rehabilitación más precisos y específicos (33) . Sin embargo, es necesario desarrollar estudios con muestras significativas que sustenten el uso de estos dispositivos en procesos rehabilitatorios (31,41) .…”

Introducción: Los sensores inerciales o unidad de medición inercial (IMU) del inglés Inertial measurement unit, son pequeños dispositivos capaces de medir la aceleración lineal y la velocidad angular, siendo útiles en el área de la salud para la cuantificación y valoración objetiva del movimiento corporal humano. Objetivo: Analizar la información sobre el uso de sensores inerciales como una aproximación a los procesos de evaluación del movimiento corporal humano. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó búsqueda en bases de datos, empleando términos: sensores inerciales, salud, fisioterapia, acelerómetro, actividad física, movimiento y rehabilitación, y sus combinaciones. Como criterios de exclusión se tuvo: artículos exclusivos del campo de ingeniería con información no aplicable a fisioterapia. Resultados: Una IMU es compatible con aplicaciones (APP), con el objetivo de obtener datos de movimiento tridimensionales y como evaluación e intervención, o que permita cuantificar los resultados de la acción motora. Conclusiones: Las IMU tienen amplias posibilidades en áreas afines a la rehabilitación y otras referentes al entrenamiento y el área deportiva; por lo, cual es necesario estandarizar protocolos que permitan la medición de patrones motores que favorezcan los procesos de rehabilitación.
