Posturographic analysis of older adults without dementia and patients with Alzheimer’s disease: A cross-sectional study

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Additional clinical tools should be investigated to facilitate and aid the early diagnosis of cognitive decline. Postural control worsens with aging and this may be related to pathological cognitive impairment. Objective: to compare the balance of older adults without dementia in a control group (CG) and with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), to observe the possible association with the independent variables (diagnosis, age, gender, and global cognition) and to verify the best posturographic analyses to det… Show more

“…Human aging process triggers a set of changes in the organism, especially in posture alignment and dynamic balance. Posture alignment involves stability and body orientation in space, while dynamic balance is an essential component for postural control, maintaining older adults in the desired body position and preventing falls (Sant'Anna et al, 2019;Pinzón Ríos, 2019;Nascimento et al, 2019;Horak, 2006).…”

“…Patients with AD are known to report balance deficits and associated functional difficulties 4. However, data from more quantitative balance measures, such as posturography, show conflicting results, with some studies demonstrating no difference in quantitative measures between AD patients and matched controls, while other studies that have used more challenging metrics to assess balance control have detected greater postural instability in AD patients 5,6. Moreover, the relationship between qualitative and quantitative balance measures in AD patients is unclear.…”

“….5.2 Posturografia por plataforma de força A análise do comportamento do controle postural, durante a PEO, pode ser realizada pelo estudo das oscilações posturais por meio da metodologia conhecida como posturografia por plataforma de força (DUARTE; FREITAS, 2010). Nessa metodologia, uma plataforma de forçaé utilizada para a obtenção da localização do centro de pressão (COP), que correspondeà localização da força resultante de reação do soloàs solas dos pés ao posturografia por plataforma de força pode ser empregada tanto para a investigação de características do comportamento do sistema de controle postural (ROMAN-LIU, 2018; HAGIO; OBATA; NAKAZAWA, 2018; LEACH et al, 2018; SILVA; MAGALHÃES; KOHN, 2019) quanto para o diagnóstico de certas patologias do SNC(SANT'ANNA et al, 2019;MIGNARDOT et al, 2014). na direção ML ao longo do tempo(PRIETO et al, 1996).…”
