This study aims to examine
This study is based on the guideline of falls management exercise programs (FaME) designed exercise from Skelton and Dinan.
The FAME program is structured so that four biocybernetic pillars are embedded in the three successive stages of training.
The biocybernetic pillars:
The training phase should reach the following goals:
We started the FaME program with assistance from the pilot study, "Effects of stochastic resonance therapy on postural control in the elderly population" (KEK Bern: No.228/09, Trial Registry: NCT01045746). It was found that a whole-body vibration with stochastic resonance (SR-WBV) enables that strength, coordination, and balance training while standing, in the exercise training gain phase is possible.
For this reason, this study will examine the feasibility and the immediately and long term effects of SR-WBV with 6 Hz, Noise 4 on postural control and strength in frail elderly.
