“…The reason for these significant correlations is thought to be that ICARS and BBS evaluate more complex functions including both forward-backward and mediolateral movements of CoG such as walking, turning to look behind, stool stepping and so on. The same results have been shown for BBS in individuals with stroke and for ICARS in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-1 patients [28,29].…”

The assessment of balance includes posturography measures and clinical balance tests in individuals with ataxia. Although both advantages and disadvantages of these assessments have been stated, no relationship between them in individuals with ataxia has been shown in the literature. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationships between commonly used clinical balance tests and posturography measures in ataxic individuals. The study included a total of 42 patients (mean age: 33.90 ± 8.75 years) with different diagnoses causing ataxia. The sensory organization test (SOT), limits of stability (LOS), unilateral stance and rhythmic weight shift (RWS) tests in computerized dynamic posturography and the clinical balance tests of Berg Balance Scale (BBS), International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) and timed up and go (TUG) test were used to assess balance. The Spearman correlation test was used to evaluate the relationships between the clinical balance tests and posturography variables. Moderate and strong correlations were found between the ICARS, BBS and TUG scores and Unilateral Stance sway velocity, directional control parameter of RWS and LOS (P < 0.01–0.05). The ICARS and BBS scores were correlated with the SOT-Composite Equilibrium Score (P < 0.01–0.05). The results of this study suggest the use of both posturography and clinical balance tests in the rehabilitation of ataxic individuals with mild-moderate balance impairment, because posturography variables determine the underlying cause of imbalance and clinical tests evaluate balance in functional activities.

“…Sedentary behavior caused by stay-at-home restrictions altered normal muscular activity during daily mobility, which can lead to muscle atrophy and other motor function problems in community-dwelling older persons [ 42 ]. Consistently with these findings, Parsa et al [ 43 ] have revealed moderate negative correlation between the stability indices of the Biodex Stability System and Berg Balance Scale scores in stroke individuals. Murphy and Roberts [ 44 ] also reported that positional static stability on the force platform and the Berg Balance Scale scores in geriatric patients with a cerebrovascular accident had a strong correlation.…”

Background: SARS-CoV-2 atypical symptoms in older persons include falls, confusion, dizziness, and unusual weariness. Falls and their consequences are among the most prevalent causes of disability among older adults, significantly lowering quality of life and resulting in the loss of independence as well as impaired psychosocial functioning. The study purpose was to examine the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 infectious disease on balance in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Sixty-four older adults aged ≥ 60 years from both sexes, 31 treated for SARS-CoV-2 infection and 33 matched normal controls participated in the study. The Biodex Stability System (BSS) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used for evaluation of balance and fall risk. The correlation between the Biodex overall stability index and the Berg Balance Scale score was investigated. Results: When compared to controls, the SARS-CoV-2 group had significantly higher values of the Biodex overall stability index (OSI) (p = 0.011), anterior–posterior stability index (APSI) (p = 0.013), mediolateral stability index (MLSI) (p = 0.018), and fall risk index (FRI) (p = 0.008), as well as statistically lower scores on the Berg balance scale (p = 0.003). A moderate negative correlation was found between the two assessment tools in the SARS-CoV-2 group. Conclusion: Balance impairment and an increased risk of falling are among the outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 in community-dwelling older adults.

“…It has been shown that impaired balance develops a predisposition to lower limb injury, risk of falls and asymmetry in lower limb muscle strength. [7,8] Most current studies in the literature are focused on abductor muscle strength and assessments of functional status only performed by questionnaires. There are a few data that evaluate dynamic hip abductor weakness during gait, particularly gluteus medius (GMed) muscle activity.…”

Patients and methods: Sixteen patients (15 males, 1 female; mean age 34.8±15.2 years; range, 18 to 58 years) who were treated with an antegrade trochanteric IMN between January 2009 and July 2013 and eight healthy male controls (mean age 39.3±9.8 years; range, 27 to 57 years) were included in this retrospective study. Muscle strength, static and dynamic postural stability and fall risk were evaluated. In addition, spatiotemporal parameters of gait were assessed using a validated wireless inertial sensing device and a wireless electromyography (EMG) device was used to measure electromyographic activity of GMed muscle in both groups. Results: There were significant differences in muscle strength, functional and dynamic balance test scores between operated and intact sides (one-leg hop test score p=0.009, balance test scores p<0.001-0.033). There were significant differences in functional and quality of life physical function test scores between groups (one-leg hop test score p=0.014). However, no significant differences were found in EMG results, dynamics balance, and statics postural stability test scores between groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: After isolated femur fracture, patients treated with antegrade trochanteric IMN demonstrated good static and dynamic stability and poor functional outcomes compared to controls. In conclusion, patients with antegrade trochanteric IMN have good balance but poor functional performance; however, further studies are needed to find out the primary reason for these results.
