简要总结
This graduate student research study has two purposes; the first purpose is to examine the criterion validity of the Y Balance Test (YBT) with the Limits of Stability Test (LOS) in healthy middle-aged adults. The second purpose is to examine balance changes using the YBT following a home-based exercise program.
详细描述
-
"Subjects will be healthy female or male middle-aged adults who are able to walk and move independently.
-
"Subjects will be between 45 and 64 years of age." 6. "In total, subject participation will last approximately eight weeks. Visit 1 (baseline): 90 minutes, visit 2 (week 4): 30 minutes, and visit 3 (week 8): 60 minutes.
-
"Subjects will be recruited by distributing flyers in the Loma Linda Community, sending emails to school staff, students, and faculty, and word of mouth.
-
"Consent will take place at Loma Linda University, Nichol Hall rooms A620 -A640 by investigators." 9. If Multi-center: N/A 10. If Single center or investigator-initiated: "70 subjects will participate in the study."

研究组 & 干预措施
home exercise program
• The exercise group will follow a home exercise protocol for eight weeks: that involves standing on one foot, walking, and doing wall squats.
干预措施: home exercise program (Other)
non exercise group
• The non-exercise group will continue with their usual life style
干预措施: non exercise program (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Y Balance Test
时间窗: change from 4 weeks to 8 weeks
The test assesses performance during single-leg balance with a reaching task in the anterior (ANT), posteromedial (PM), and posterolateral (PL) directions to determine lower extremity movement asymmetry and balance deficits. ANT, PM, and PL are a composite measurement.
