Hubungan Antara Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) Dengan Keseimbangan Statis pada Lanjut Usia di Kelurahan Karang Asem Kecamatan Laweyan Surakarta

The balance of a person’s body is effected by the Body Mass Index (BMI). Body Mass Index (BMI) is an objective instrument that can be used to measure of the relationship between height and weight of an individual in adition to determining health risks and excessive weight. There are various kinds of balance one of them is “Static Balance”. The static balance is the ability to maintain body position when the Center of Gravity (COG) does not change. An example of static balance is when standing on one foot, using balance.The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) with static balance on the elderly.The type of this research is quantitative research with cross sectional approach. The sampling technique using proportional random sampling, that used 80 respondents.

Correlation between the Severity of Female Urinary Incontinence and Concomitant Morbidities: A Multi-Center Cross-Sectional Clinical Study

Purpose The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between urinary incontinence (UI) and low back pain (LBP) discomfort and disability, static balance, and demographic factors. Methods A total of 348 women aged 20-80 years were included in this cross-sectional study. The general characteristics of the subjects and the main outcome (UI condition, LBP discomfort, LBP disability, and static balance ability) were assessed by using clinical questionnaires and assessment tools. Results Of all the subjects, 22.8% had experienced UI. Women with UI showed a significantly higher relationship of LBP and disability, and static balance ability (P<0.01). We found a significant correlation between UI, age, LBP and disability, and static balance ability (P<0.01). Conclusions These findings suggest that UI correlates negatively with LBP discomfort, LBP disability, and static balance ability. Further studies should focus on the identification of the precise mechanisms underlying UI and its related physical symptoms and on the development of therapeutic strategies to manage this condition

Relationship between functional movement screening and static balance scores: Increasing the educational level of elite female wrestlers

The importance of balance is considerably high in many sports that require struggle and close contact such as wrestling. Some losses in maintaining the balance due to the movements requiring high intensity during competitions and increase in the risk of injury due to these losses may occur in wrestling athletes. The aim of this study is to Increase the educational level of elite female wrestlers by examining the relationship between Functional Movement Screening Test Scores and static balance performance scores of elite young female wrestlers. 19 elite female wrestlers having average age of 22.94 ± 2.67 years, body weight 61.63 ± 7.25 kg, height 165.37 ± 5.17 cm and BMI 22.46 ± 1.60kg / m2 participated in the study. Functional Movement Screen Test ™ (FMST™) battery was used in determining the functional movements of the participants, while Tecnobody Prokin 200 Bergamo/Italy was used to determine the total postural stability index values. All static balance measurements were evaluated as standing Double-Leg Eyes Open (DLEO), Eyes Open Single-Leg Dominant Non-Dominant (EOSL-DM and EOSL-ND). Since higher stability index values indicate lower stability, the participants were found to have a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU, and between dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU. In addition, it was found out that, there was a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance, dominant leg static balance and double leg static balance and the FMST™ scores of the participants. The results of this research can be very effective in improving the educational process in the field of wrestling

The Associations of Cardiovascular Disease, Physical Activity Intensities, and Measures of Obesity on Static Balance in Middle-Aged and Older Adults

The burden of falls is widely known in older adults, though less research has targeted middle-aged adults (40-64 years of age), particularly at the population level. The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the roles of cardiovascular disease, physical activity (PA) intensity, and body anthropometrics on balance among middle-aged adults. Study 1 sought to determine if balance was impaired in middle-aged adults with poor ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI), a marker of cardiovascular disease. Study 2 determined the associations between PA intensity with odds of having good static balance. Study 3 explored how strongly a variety of anthropometric measures, including two novel ratios, associated with static balance. Studies utilized 1999-2002 and 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Study 1 included 1,046 middle-aged adults to examine the associations between ABPI and static balance (Romberg Test of Standing Balance) via logistic regression. This study determined middle-aged adults with at-risk ABPI had a significantly higher 3.38 (95%CI 1.66, 6.87) odds of having poor balance, indicating that balance may be an important functional assessment used in conjunction with ABPI to identify those at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and falls. Using logistic regression, study 2 analyzed data from 1,068 middle-aged adults to examine the associations of light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with static balance. No significant relationships were found between MVPA or LPA and having good static balance in middle age. However, a sub-analysis in older adults (≥65 years) determined every 60- minute increase in LPA was significantly associated with 1.19 (95%CI: 1.09, 1.31) higher odds of good static balance after controlling for covariates, including MVPA. Study 3 included anthropometric measures of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), calf circumference (CC), thigh circumference (TC), WC/CC, WC/TC, WC/CC2 , and WC/TC2 in 1,050 middle-aged adults. While a number of anthropometric measures were significantly associated with static balance, in both middle-aged males and females, analyses found higher WC/CC2 and WC/TC2 were significantly associated with decreased odds of good static balance. In both genders, area under the curve predictive ability resulted in WC/TC2 followed by WC/CC2 to be the highest predictors of static balance in middle-aged adults. Similarly, older-age males and females with higher WC/CC2 and WC/TC2 have significantly decreased odds of good static balance. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that WC/TC2 and WC/CC2 are good predictors of balance in middle-aged and older adults

COMPARISON OF STATIC BALANCE MEASURES WITH HEIGHT AND WEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN TAEKWONDO AND HANDBALL PLAYERS

This study aimed to compare the static balance of taekwondo athletes and handball players. Considering the body size might affect the sway during static balance testing as the inverted pendulum model demonstrated. The static balance of the subjects was evaluated by the Bidex Balance System. The results showed that the APSI, MLSI and OSI of taekwondo athletes were significantly lower than those of the handball players. Moreover, the three stability indices of the two groups of athletes were significantly correlated with height and weight, but not age. The data showed that body size were positively related to the sway in the static balance testing. The taekwondo athletes were lighter than the handball players in average, nevertheless, lower height-and-weight adjusted stability indices of the taekwondo athletes were found

Evaluating the Baseline Chatacteristics of Static Balance in Young Adults

The objectives of this study (baseline study, n = 20) were to implement Matlab procedures for quantifying selected static balance variables, establish baseline data of selected variables which characterize static balance activities in a population of healthy young adult males, and to examine any trial effects on these variables. The results indicated that the implementation of Matlab procedures for quantifying selected static balance variables was practical and enabled baseline data to be established for selected variables. There was no significant trial effect. Recommendations were made for suitable tests to be used in later studies. Specifically it was found that one foot-tiptoes tests either in static balance is too challenging for most participants in normal circumstances. A one foot-flat eyes open test was considered to be representative and challenging for static balance
