“…Thus, the outcome in relation to the risk of falls may also be associated with an improvement in balance. The study by Cha and Kim 31 , conducted with healthy adults, found that the application of MP with jump training positively affected the balancing ability compared with the group that performed only the jump training.…”

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo piloto, realizado em um hospital universitário de referência em Pernambuco, foi avaliar os efeitos da prática mental associada à fisioterapia motora sobre a marcha e o risco de queda em pessoas com doença de Parkinson. A amostra da pesquisa foi composta por 18 sujeitos, de ambos os sexos, com doença de Parkinson idiopática, divididos em grupo experimental (8 indivíduos) e controle (10 indivíduos). Ambos os grupos realizaram 15 sessões de 40 minutos de fisioterapia motora, duas vezes por semana. No grupo de intervenção, a fisioterapia foi associada a prática mental (15 minutos). Em relação às variáveis de desfecho primário, o tempo de execução do timed up and go e do teste de caminhada de 10 metros reduziu, mas a diferença não foi significativa. Em relação à velocidade, cadência e escore do dynamic gait index, houve aumento após a intervenção no grupo experimental, com diferença significativa (p=0,02). O número de passos foi mantido em ambos os grupos. Os resultados sugerem que a prática mental associada à fisioterapia motora reduz o risco de quedas em comparação com a fisioterapia motora aplicada isoladamente.

“…The balance ability has been developing not only in the early childhood, but throughout adolescence (Nolan, Grigorenko, & Thorstensson, 2005). In addition, some common diseases of teenagers and adults such as autism, hyperactivity disorder, Asperger's syndrome and others are closely related to the balance ability of human body (Cha & Kim, 2016). Balance ability is one of the important components of the physical fitness of middle school students.…”

Good balance ability plays an important role in teenagers' physical development. Establishing a comprehensive evaluation system is conducive to promote the development of teenagers' balance ability test. In this study, based on the calculation of the center of mass, Kinect detects human body's joints to obtain 10 basic indicators of the static balance ability, calculate the weight coefficient and the variation coefficient by the variation coefficient method and calculate the coefficient values of different tasks and indexes, finally, combine coefficient linear with weight linear sum method to obtain comprehensive evaluation index formula of static balance ability. From the test items in the text, the weight coefficient of the single foot standing with closing eyes is relatively high (29.23%), which had a greater influence on the final static balance ability assessment. In the test indicators, the weight coefficient of index in the swing speed of center of mass is relatively high (32.9%), and that in swinging of the vertical axis of center of mass is also relatively high (30.0%), taking great impact on the final test result. Finally, there is a comparison between the results of this study and experts' evaluation result, the correlation coefficient between the two (|r| > 0.85, r < 0, p < 0.01) indicates that the two groups have a high negative correlation, and they match yet the evaluation system is more sensitive if two scores are normalized to the same interval.

Context: Mental practice (MP) is a method in which, mental imagery is used to train the performance of a task without performing any visible physical practice. The effects of the MP are dependent on factors such as the characteristics of the learner and the task, practice settings, the learning phase, and form of MP. Balance is defined as the condition of an object when the resultant load actions (forces or movement) acting upon it are zero. Good balance is important for many activities. Exercises that improve balance can help prevent falls. There are limited studies which focus on the effect of MP on balance using clinical tests for balance assessment. Hence, the aim of the study is to find the effectiveness of MP on balance using the clinical test on normal younger adults. Aim: To compare the effects of MP and balance training on Unipedal Stand Test, 1 Repetition Maximum and modified Clinical test for sensory interaction on balance in younger adults. Materials and Methods: 60 subjects who followed inclusion criteria were taken and divided into experimental and control groups (n = 30) respectively. The experimental group was given MP and balance training whereas the control group received only balance training for 4 weeks. Outcome measures were assessed before and after the intervention. Statistical Analysis Used: Intergroup analysis was done by MannWhitney U-test and within group analysis were done by Wilcoxon rank test for all outcome measures with pre, post data. The results showed significant improvement in balance, ankle muscular strength, and sensory organization in the experimental group. Conclusion: This study shows that MP in combination with the balance training leads to improvement in balance in normal younger adults.
