Add to ORKGObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate a screening protocol for detecting potential fallers among elder-ly individuals with instability, using objective indicators of dynamic equilibration performance. Material and methods: Dynamic balance in 273 patients with postural instability (59 with and 214 without a his-tory of falls) older than 60 years of age were tested using the SPS (SYNAPSYS) posturography platform, which evaluates equilibration responses to induced postural disturbances. Results: Among nonfallers, 23 % exhibited dynamic balance alterations as severe as those in same-aged fallers. Potential fallers were detected with 97 % sensitivity and nonfallers with 77 % specificity. Positive and negative pre-dictive values were 5...
Objective: To evaluate the reliability of dynamic standing balance in individuals with and without l...
