Official Title: Subsensory Stochastic Vibratory Stimulation to Assess and Improve Aging Related Proprioceptive Deficits Associated With Balance Recovery
Brief Summary:
Falls are the primary cause of traumatic injury in older adults, and tripping is the leading cause of falls.A robust method for improving aging-related proprioceptive deficits is lacking, while strong evidence shows that proprioception deficits are highly associated with poor balance recovery from tripping.Previous research suggested that stochastic vibratory stimulation (SVS) can influence proprioception (i.e., muscle spindle function) among healthy controls; however, it is not clear how older adults with…
