Peroneal Muscles Response to Expected and Unexpected Falls Among Young and Middle-aged Adults Before and After Neuromuscular Training

NCT05006547 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Proper functioning of the ankle musculature, specifically peroneal muscles, is crucial for maintaining balance and reducing the risk for falls. Evidence suggests that a decrease in aspects of neuromuscular control already starts at midlife (45-65 years). However, there is almost no information regarding the function of the ankle muscles at the middle-age as most experiments have compared young (\<35 years) and older subjects (\>65 years). Moreover, neuromuscular training can improve the function of ankle muscle in response to perturbation; yet, no previous study has compared the level of effectiveness between middle-aged and young adults.

Conditions

  • Healthy Participants

Interventions

OTHER

Electromyograph Biofeedback training of the peroneal muscle

The exercise will be performed with the subject sitting in front of a computer monitor, on an elevated chair, and his feet will be in the air. The examiner will ask the subject to perform a maximum contraction of the paronal muscles, in an open kinematic chain. After reference, the subject will begin a five-minute practice. The practice will be divided into rounds of: eight seconds of muscle work and 15 seconds rest.
