Relationship of de Ankle ROM With Balance and Falls in Older Adults

NCT03898999 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 87

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The ankle is an important joint to maintain a good balance within the population of the older adult. As people get older, problems appear in this joint. Many of these problems affect the correct joint range of the ankle. There is evidence to suggest that a lower range of motion in the ankle can negatively affect balance and, consequently, increase the risk of falls in the elderly. It would be interesting to assess if this relationship is true. The aim of the study will be to study if the state of the joint range of the ankle is related in some way to balance and falls in the elderly.
