Abstract

Background: The aim of this present study was to examine the effect of 6 weeks BALANCE training on some of the kinematic features of WALKING in ELDERLY women.Methods & Materials: 20 ELDERLY women with the mean±SD age of 67.72±4.48 were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Participants in each group took part in a WALKING test in a pre-test session followed by a post-test after 6 weeks. During this period, participants in the experimental group did the BALANCE training systematically for 3 sessions in a week. Overall training was 18 sessions of BALANCE training until the somatesensory, visual, vestibular systems were engaged (such as jumping out of the hole, gait by 8, crossing obstacle, WALKING with heel) while the control group followed their ordinary lives. Kinematic features of the WALKING such as length and width of the step, DOUBLE SUPPORT TIME and WALKING speed were collected and analyzed with the Cortex software. Repetitive ANOVA (2*2) was used for data analysis.Result: The results of this study showed that BALANCE training during 6 weeks increased some of the kinematic features like step length 11.33% (P=0.01), and WALKING speed 18% (P=0.04) significantly in ELDERLY women of the experiment group. Although variables such as DOUBLE SUPPORT TIME (P=0.06), WIDTH OF STEP (P=0.48) and, this reductions were not significant in comparison to the control group.Conclusion: Results of the current study confirmed the effect of BALANCE exercises for 6 weeks for increasing LENGTH OF STEP and WALKING speed in ELDERLY women. Therefore, this exercise program has improved the general pattern of WALKING in ELDERLY women.
