Postural Control in Adults

Recruiting
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The investigators propose a 2-week intervention involving adults over 65 years old. Participants will undergo dynamic balance training on an movable platform (stabilometer) with either restricted or full vision. The primary objective is to facilitate sensory re-weighting, hypothesizing that restricted vision training will increase somatosensory input utilization for postural control. Pre- and post-training assessments will measure postural control during gait initiation under a dual-task condition. The investigators hypothesize that the restricted vision group will demonstrate: 1. Improved postural control, indicated by increased center of pressure displacement during gait initiation. 2. Improved ability to utilize somatosensory input during a balance task.
