Does the Controllability of the Body Schema Predict Equilibrium in Elderly People? Characteristics of Relationships from a Lifelong Development Perspective
Author(s): Masayuki WatanabeMasayuki Watanabe
Background: Equilibrium is a primary factor that describes and predicts elderly people’s falling and fear of falling. However, elucidation of the relationship between equilibrium and cognitive function and the influence of cognition function on equilibrium in elderly people is required. Methods: This study sought to illustrate the characteristics of the equilibrium function in elderly people, focusing on the vividness and controllability of the body schema as a cognitive function and analyzing its relationship with body sway (in the one-leg standing test with eyes open) from a lifelong development perspective. Movement distance and the outer area in body sway in the one-leg standing test with eyes open were measured for 139 participants including children, college students, and elderly people. In addition, the vividness and controllabi.. View More»
