Posturographic Analysis in the Elderly with and without sensorineural Hearing Loss
Ciquinato,Daiane Soares de Almeida; Doi,Marcelo Yugi; Silva,Rubens A. da; Oliveira,Márcio Rogério de; Gil,André Wilson de OliveiraAbstract Introduction Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a serious public health problem. Some evidence suggests a significant relationship between SNHL and balance disorders. The inability to maintain balance associated with SNHL while standing further increases the risk of falls among older people. Objective To investigate the association between SNHL on the postural balance in elderly individuals of both g...

Rinaldo,Marcio A.; Jacinto,Jeferson L.; Pacagnelli,Francis L.; Shigaki,Leonardo; Ribeiro,Alex S.; Balvedi,Mario C. W.; Altimari,Leandro R.Abstract Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of training volume (1 vs. 3 sets) on lower-body muscle strength in untrained young men. Methodsː Eighteen untrained young men were recruited and their legs were trained with 1 or 3 sets (in a contralateral design) for 6 weeks, using a knee extension machine. Isokinetic peak torque and one repetition maximum (1RM) were assessed at pre- and post-...
Can functional exercise capacity discriminate older individuals with poor postu...
Oliveira,Marcio R.; Vidotto,Laís S.; Gil,André W.; Merli,Myriam Fernanda; Probst,Vanessa S.; Silva,Rubens A. daAbstractPostural instability can be related to functional limitations as a result of the aging process. This study aimed to compare functional exercise capacity and postural control in older adults. Participants were allocated into three groups according to their functional exercise capacity based on the six minute walking test (6MWT): 1) Low performance group (LP: distance walked ≤ 80% of the predicted value n...
