OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2013;1(11):204 Phys Ther. 2007 Oct;87(10):1274-83. Epub 2007 Jul 1736 healthy older adult patients were randomized to undergo either sensory-specific balance training or education on fall prevention. This study examined the effects of these interventions on improving proprioception and the primary outcome was a Center-of-pressure (COP) velocity change score. The results indicated that older adults that participated in sensory-specific balance exercise programs had improved short-term postural responses to proprioceptive reintegration.
