Abstract
Abstract Aim This study investigated the effects of upper extremity muscle fatigue on dynamic and static balance in young and old populations. Methods Static and dynamic balance was assessed in 20 males before and after an upper extremity (UE) fatigue protocol. Fatigue was achieved using an arm crank ergometer protocol, which consisted of 3-minute intervals of UE exercise, increasing by 25 watts in a range of 70-80 rpms, until exhaustion. Results The UE fatigue protocol did not negatively impact dynamic or static balance levels in either young or old populations. In fact, UE fatigue was shown to have a positive influence on dynamic balance in the posterolateral direction in the young population. Conclusion Although old population demonstrated preexisting balance impairments, UE exercise does not appear to further impair balance. Additionally, the influence on dynamic balance after UE fatigue in the young population may indicate a possible priming effect.
期刊介绍：
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
