BACKGROUND: There is a scarcity of information about how much the postural balance parameters, as the area and mean velocity of the center of pressure (CoP), can be modified by traditionally adiposity markers in older adults. OBJETIVES: To describe and associate postural balance parameters in Chilean old...
ANTECENDENTES Y OBJETIVO: Las pruebas funcionales son un eje fundamental en la evaluación del riesgo de caídas de los adultos mayores (AM), no obstante, muchas de ellas carecen de valor asociativo con el real estado funcional del AM, historia clínica y co-morbilidades.

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with physical frailty in community-dwelling
younger-old (60 to 74 years) and oldest-old (75 years or older) adults in a region of high social
vulnerability. Social vulnerability refers to the absence of or difficulty obtaining social support
from public instit...
Objective: To evaluate intra- and inter-rater reliability, standard error of the measurement (SEM),
and minimal detectable change (MDC) of the angles obtained with a Postural Assessment
Software (SAPO) in older people.
Methods: Postural evaluation of 32 older adults was performed using Postural Assessmen...
Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate (1) postural control performance in different
postural tasks and (2) muscle strength and power of the hip, knee, and ankle of active vs inactive older adults.
Methods: The sample consisted of 61 healthy community-dwelling older adults, classifie...
