This study found six force platform parameters highly reliable for assessing balance in older adults. The narrow stand with eyes closed position is recommended for accurate balance assessments in the elderly population.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Gerontology
  • Medical Technology

Context:

  • Static posturography quantifies body sway to assess balance in elderly individuals prone to falls.
  • Reliability of force platform measurements for balance assessment in older adults is not yet universally established.
  • This study addresses the need for reliable methods to evaluate balance in the elderly population.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the reliability of 11 force platform parameters for measuring balance in elderly individuals.
  • To identify the most reliable parameters and test conditions for static posturography in older adults.
  • To establish a reliable protocol for balance assessment using force platforms.

Summary:

  • Eleven force platform parameters were assessed in 30 elderly participants under four conditions (normal/narrow stance, eyes open/closed).

  • Reliability was determined using intraclass correlation coefficients.
  • Six parameters demonstrated excellent reliability (ICC >0.9), particularly in the narrow stand with eyes closed condition.

    • Impact:

    • Identifies six highly reliable force platform parameters for balance assessment in the elderly.
    • Recommends the narrow stand with eyes closed as the optimal test position for improved reliability.
    • Provides a validated protocol for balance assessment, potentially aiding in fall risk prediction in older adults.
