Concept of Dynamic Stability in Old People for Fall Prevention(review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Fall down is related to stability of persons,especially in the aged.Poor stability usually results in fall down.Compared with the concept of static stability,dynamic stability theory emphasizes the velocity-position of center of mass(CoM)to predict feasible move-ments rather than CoM position only. Dynamic stability can help to estimate the risk of fall, and guide the exercise about fall prevention from improvements of adaption to regain balance.The training program still needs more studies.
