Objective To compare the effect of a custom-designed yoga program with 2 other balance training programs. Design Randomized controlled trial. Setting Research laboratory. Participants A group of older adults (N=39; mean age, 74.15+6.99y) with a history of falling. Interventions Three different exercise interventions (Tai Chi, standard balance training, yoga) were given for 12 weeks. Main Outcome Measures Balance performance was examined during pre- and posttest using field tests, including the 8-foot up-and-go test, 1-leg stance, functional reach, and usual and maximal walking speed. The static and dynamic balances were also assessed by postural sway and dynamic posturography, respectively. Results Training produced significant improvements in all field tests (P<.005 but group difference and time interaction were not detected. for postural sway significant decreases in the area of center pressure with eyes open closed detected after training. maximum medial-lateral velocity significantly decreased sample displacement tai chi dynamic posturography improvements overall score on test linear measures lateral anterior-posterior directions seen sample.> Conclusions Yoga was as effective as Tai Chi and standard balance training for improving postural stability and may offer an alternative to more traditional programs. |
