简要总结
This study evaluates muscle thickness of trunk and lower limb and balance in young and older healthy adults. The participants will be evaluated muscle thickness for 14 different muscle and balance which evaluated by computerized force plate system.
详细描述
Aging had an adverse affect on musculoskeletal system and balance parameters. Decreased muscle strength or thickness negatively affect person's balance control. But there are no information in the literature about the relationships between muscle thickness and balance in healthy subjects. In addition to, it is not known which muscle responsible for balance. Therefore, this study will evaluate muscle thickness via ultrasonography and balance in young and older adults. Balance will be evaluated computerized Balance system. Muscle thickness for different 14 muscle ( diaphragm, transversus abdominis,multifidus, longissimus, quadratus lumborum, rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, soleus) will be evaluated by ultrasonography at the right side. Only diaphram muscle will be evaluated both right and left side.

结局指标
主要结局
Limits of Stability
时间窗: 15 minutes
Limits of stability test evaluates dynamic balance of participants. Computerized balance system measured limits of stability for forward, backward, right and left side movements. It calculates the maximum distance a person can lean without losing balance. The unit of measure is centimeters. The higher value is indicated the better balance.
次要结局
- Muscle thickness(30 minutes)
- Fear of falling(15 minutes)
- Postural Sway(15 minutes)
- Joint position sense(15 minutes)
