Résumé : | Introduction Balance deficiencies are common among aging adults. Musculoskeletal injuries such as lateral ankle sprains (LAS) also contribute to compromised balance; potentially amplifying the postural insufficiencies in these age groups with a history of LAS. Yoga has emerged as an effective balance training intervention for aging adults; but limited application exists in these age cohorts with LAS history. This study may provide important guidance for the implementation of this intervention in these populations. Methods In this cohort design study, middle-age and older adults with a history of LAS completed an 8-week beginner-level yoga class. Balance was measured before and after the yoga intervention statically (force plate) and dynamically (star excursion balance test [SEBT]) using single-limb balance tasks. Results Following the yoga intervention, older adults improved static postural control in the anterior-posterior direction, as well as dynamic postural control in selected reach directions of the SEBT relative to the middle-age adults. Conclusion This is an important step in exploring how to help the aging population that likely has amplifications in balance deficiencies due to a common musculoskeletal injury, LAS. While more work is needed to determine how to optimize and document balance improvements in aging adults with LAS history, yoga appears to be a promising form of intervention, particularly for older adults. |
