“…Allander et al (1974) reported that there was about 2.2 decrease per five years in shoulder ROM for subjects in age 45-60 years. Furthermore, for subjects over age 62, the decreases in elbow flexion, forearm pronation, and supination were about 0.2 , 0.4 , and 0.3 per year, respectively (Kalscheur et al, 1999). In here, it is interesting to note that the forearm supination and pronation showed an increasing trend with the increase of age.…”

“…17,18 Aging causes declines in wrist extension range of motion (ROM) of 10 -15 on average; 19 older women lose approximately 0.5 per year. 20 Other declines in ROM, such as shoulder extension, may also limit the ability to control the descent of the body post-impact.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a unique exercise programme (Fall Arrest Strategy Training, or FAST) on upper body strength, range of motion (ROM), and fall risk in older women. FAST was designed to improve upper body capacity to prevent injury when a fall cannot be avoided. Method: A quasi-randomized site design included 71 older women (aged 67-95 y, mean age 83 years), who participated either in a standard fall prevention programme (Staying on Your Feet, or SOYF; n ¼ 29) or in SOYF combined with FAST (n ¼ 42). The women were measured three times-at baseline, after the 12-week intervention, and again 12 weeks later-for upper body strength, ROM, and fall risk factors (fall risk questionnaire, balance, mobility, and leg strength). Results: No significant differences were found in age, physical activity, or cognitive or functional status between the SOYFstandard and the SOYF-FAST groups. Both groups improved their fall risk status after the intervention, with no significant differences between them; however, the SOYF-FAST group showed greater improvements in upper extremity strength and ROM (p ¼ 0.007). Conclusion: FAST can feasibly be integrated into fall prevention programming, with additional gains in upper body strength and ROM in older women.

“…This study provides results that range of motion decreases as part of the typical aging process (Bassey, Morgan, Dallosso, & Ebrahim, 1989;Cunningham, Paterson, Himann, & Rechnitzer, 1993;Kalscheur, Emery, & Costello, 1999). Therapists can expect range of motion decline with age as well as gender differences, with women having greater range than men, on average.…”

“…While it is generally assumed that ROM declines with age (Bonder & Goodman, 1995;Kauffmann, 1994;Levy, 1993), age-related changes in ROM have only been partially studied (Bassey, Morgan, Dallosso, & Ebrahim, 1989;Cunningham, Paterson, Himann, & Rechnitzer, 1993;Kalscheur, Emery, & Costello, 1999). The literature is sparse on gender differences in ROM for older persons.…”

This study had three purposes: to compare active neck and upper extremity range of motion (ROM) in women and men in context of expected values, to examine ROM decrease with age in women and men, and to predict age-related ROM in older women and men. Sixty-one women and 25 men who lived independently in the community were measured. ROM was less for older women and older men when compared to expected values. ROM declined with age for both women and men; however, women maintained greater range. The estimated regression coefficients can be used to predict ROM in older women and men. Clinical implications in evaluation are discussed. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1 -8 0 0 -HAWORTH. E-mail address: Website:
