20.500.12556/RUP-14021 Diagnostic balance tests for assessing risk of falls and distinguishing older adult fallers and non-fallers a systematic review with meta-analysis : Falls are a major cause of injury and morbidity in older adults. To reduce the incidence of falls, a systematic assessment of the risk of falling is of paramount importance. The purpose of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive comparison of the diagnostic balance tests used to predict falls and for distinguishing older adults with and without a history of falls. We conducted a systematic review of the studies in which instrumented (force plate body sway assessment) or other non-instrumented balance tests were used. We analyzed the data from 19 prospective and 48 retrospective/case-control studies. Among the non-instrumented tests, the single-leg stance test appears to be the most promising for discrimination between fallers and non-fallers. In terms of body sway measures, the center-of-pressure area was most consistently associated with falls. No evidence was found for increased benefit of the body sway test when cognitive tasks were added, or the vision was eliminated. While our analyses are limited due to the unbalanced representation of different test and outcome measures across studies, we can recommend the single-leg test for the assessment of the risk of falling, and the measurements of body sway for a more comprehensive assessment. older adults falls fall history body sway functional reach single-leg test Romberg test starejši odrasli starostniki padci zgodovina padcev nihanje telesa funkcionalni doseg stoja na eni nogi Rombergov test true true false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2020-09-10 09:59:21 2020-09-10 09:59:22 2024-03-01 14:15:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 str. 1-16 2020 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 614.821 2075-4418 519963673 10.3390/diagnostics10090667 27477507 https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4418/10/9/667 1 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=20836 Inštitut Andrej Marušič 0 0 0
