Assessment of Postural Control and Balance in the Older Adult
Assessment of Postural Control and Balance in the Older Adult
A randomised clinical trial is proposed, using a probabilistic allocation design to ensure an equitable distribution of participants between the different intervention and control groups, minimising bias and increasing the internal validity of the results.
The trial foresees the voluntary participation of a total of 60 subjects, selected on the basis of previously established criteria and meeting specific characteristics criteria previously established and who meet the specific characteristics required for the study. The distribution of the participants in the clinical trial will be structured into three groups with characteristics and specific objectives, among which the following groups are highlighted:
This programme will include a series of exercises adapted to the needs of the older adult population, with an emphasis on population, with emphasis on improving balance, muscle strength, flexibility and motor coordination.
Group 3 (G3) or experimental: will be composed of 20 participants who will receive a combined intervention. This will consist of a gerontogymnastics programme, mentioned above, merged with a specific occupational therapy plan, in which exercises such as:
