目的:评价8周指导性反应平衡训练对健康老年人反应时、足部移动速度、静态平衡以及平衡信心程度的作用。方法:25名老年受试者被随机分配至反应平衡训练组(QuickBoard;n=12;71.0±8.6岁)或固定足部自行车训练组(对照组;n=13;70.2±6.0岁)。两组均进行足部反应时、足部移动速度、静态平衡以及平衡信心程度测试。测试时间分别为训练前(基线)、4周训练后、8周训练后及完成训练4周以后随访。结果:两组足部反应时和移动速度均有显著改善,且QuickBoard组提高幅度更大。在静态平衡表现上两组无显著差异。结论:尽管改善反应时和足部移动速度有助于预防跌倒,但本研究对如何预防跌倒及提高日常生活质量的意义尚不明确。
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of 8-week guided response-balance training on healthy elderly people’s movement speed, static balance and balance confidence. Methods: Twenty-five elderly subjects were randomized to a response-balanced training group (QuickBoard; n = 12; 71.0 ± 8.6 years) or fixed-foot cycling training group (n = 13; 70.2 ± 6.0 years). Both groups were tested for foot response, foot movement speed, static balance, and balance confidence. Test time was before training (baseline), 4 weeks after training, 8 weeks after training and 4 weeks after completion of training were followed up. Results: There was a significant improvement in both foot response and movement speed in both groups, with a greater increase in the QuickBoard group. There was no significant difference in static balance between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although improvements in response and foot movement help prevent falls, the implications of this study on how to prevent falls and improve the quality of everyday life are unclear.
