Predictive values at risk of falling in physically active and no active elderly with Berg Balance Scale

Abstract: Background: The consequences of falls are a major cause of autonomy and independence loss among the elderly. In this context, the

“…The BBS, which is often used as a tool for evaluating the general physical balance ability was especially unhelpful for separating the two groups (p=0.445). Thus, the active and healthy elderly could not be categorized as fallers and non-fallers by using the BBS score alone, a result that is consistent with the results of previous research5, 15 ) . The comparison of the HBG and IBG groups, that were divided according to the BBS, confirmed differences between the groups in terms of subjects’ height, 6 muscle strengths, and 2 time-domain variables of the standing balance assessment.…”

“…However, when examining the existing methods of fall detection that utilize the BBS, the effectiveness of this approach has only been observed for categorizing the elderly with very low activity levels as fallers and non-fallers, such as those receiving stroke rehabilitation or multiple-times fallers4, 5 ) . When applied to the active elderly, the BBS showed considerably less accuracy than is the case for the inactive elderly15 ) .…”

“…Moreover, any process or modality claiming to be predictive can be evaluated by use of the binomial classification table and equations in Table 2 (as illustrated in Table 3[48]). Such calculations are commonly used in science [49-53]. …”

“…However, the test performed through the Berg Balance Scale evaluates the balance alone, not considering the effect of muscle fatigue in the final performance, and, as a result, it could not show that bond. In addition, the Berg Balance Scale, despite being widely used in assessing the balance of older adults, features controversial and non-specific cut-off points for age groups 21,22 . Regarding the loss of muscle flexibility due to aging, its causes are associated with decrease in muscle elasticity, and with deterioration of cartilage, ligaments, tendons and synovial fluid 23 .…”
