Mixed Modal Training to Help Older Adults Maintain Postural Balance

2016, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :The authors argue that this decrease in CCI demonstrates improved neuromuscular responses, which mediates the relationship between Tai Chi training and reduced fall risk in older adults (Wolf et al., 1996; Wolfson et al., 1996). This could also be relevant to studies demonstrating that other types of ‘proprioceptive training’, such as, yoga and ‘soft’ gymnastics can improve performance on dynamic posture tasks (Gauchard et al., 1999). The present study highlights the need for future studies to examine intragroup differences in proprioceptive acuity at baseline, as these may affect the efficacy of training programs.
Yoga Training Has Positive Effects on Postural Balance and Its Influence on Activities of Daily Living in People with Multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Study
2016, Explore: The Journal of Science and HealingCitation Excerpt :Yoga postures must follow the guidelines of Patanjali Yogasutra,29 which include stability and comfort, thus including neuromuscular training during both movement and stabilization (permanence) phases. Furthermore, such practices may be performed with eyes closed, emphasizing the action and entrainment of other sensory systems, such as the vestibular one.30 Yoga practices are designed in such a manner that all of them lead to a common goal, which includes reduction in spasticity, battling fatigue, improving cognitive function, and increasing range of motion.31,32
Task-specificity of balance training
2015, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :Balance training has been recommended to improve performance in different sports (Zech et al., 2010), to prevent injuries and accelerate the rehabilitation process (McGuine, Greene, Best, & Leverson, 2000; McKeon & Hertel, 2008), as well as to prevent falls in at risk populations (Gauchard, Jeandel, Tessier, & Perrin, 1999).
