“…HGS was the most studied measure with six of six studies reporting positive associations with balance. The associations were strong (three studies, n = 439) [ 21 , 53 , 54 ], medium (two studies, n = 529) [ 28 , 55 ] and weak (one study n = 209) [30]. The six studies were rated good or moderate quality.…”

Background sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and quality and is diagnosed using measures of muscle strength, size and mass. We evaluated the literature on whether sarcopenia measures are predictive of motor outcomes in older people in clinical settings. Methods electronic databases (MEDLINE Ovid, EMBASE, CINAHL and Web of Science) were searched for articles on measures of muscle mass, volume, thickness or strength, in older people in clinical settings, which reported cross-sectional or longitudinal associations with motor outcomes. Clinical cohorts included geriatric medical inpatients and outpatients, patients with hip fracture, geriatric rehabilitation and care home residents. Motor outcomes were mobility, falls, balance and activities of daily living (ADL). Due to high study heterogeneity, standardised mean differences were used to compare strength of associations. Results in total, 83 articles were identified. The most frequently studied measures were grip strength (47 studies), knee extension strength (21 studies) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (18 studies). Handgrip strength (HGS) had evidence for cross-sectional associations with mobility (14 of 16 studies, 2,088 participants), balance (6 of 6 studies, 1,177 participants) and ADL independence (10 of 11 studies, 3,228 participants), and evidence of longitudinal associations with mobility (3 of 3 studies, 883 participants) and ADL independence (7 of 10 studies, 1,511 participants). There was no conclusive evidence for association with falls. Conclusions HS was the most studied measure and was associated with mobility, balance and ADL outcomes. There was a paucity of studies, particularly with longitudinal follow-up, measuring muscle mass, volume or thickness using gold-standard approaches.

“…Therefore, core stability created by the activation of core muscles is important and essential for many upper extremity activities (9). It has been demonstrated that there is a positive relationship between upper extremity functions and postural control in children, older people, and Parkinson's patients (10)(11)(12). In addition, impaired upper extremity function was also found to be associated with decreased postural control in PwMS, even mild disabilities (13).…”

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between upper extremity function and core muscle endurance in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).Methods: Twenty-two PwMS and 20 healthy controls (HC) were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. The upper extremity function was assessed by the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT). In addition, the core muscle endurance was assessed by the side bridge test, trunk flexor endurance test, trunk extensor test, and prone bridge test.Results: Upper extremity function and core muscle endurance (except extensor endurance) in PwMS were lower compared to HC (p<0.05). In addition, the results of correlation analyses in PwMS showed that both sides' upper extremity functions were related to EDSS, and trunk flexor endurance (p<0.05). Moreover, the right-upper extremity function was related to the right side bridge endurance test performance while the left-upper extremity function was related to left side bridge endurance test performance and disease duration (p<0.05). Conclusion:These results demonstrated the mutual relationship between upper extremity function and core muscle endurance in PwMS. Therefore, the core stabilization training may improve both the core muscle endurance and upper extremity function in PwMS.

Aim: The study's objectives were to assess manual dexterity in those with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and healthy older adults, as well as to look into the relationships between manual dexterity and balance and trunk control in patients with AD. Material and Methods: The study involved 32 patients with AD and 32 healthy older adults matched for gender and age. Manual dexterity was assessed with the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT); balance with The Berg Balance Scale (BBS), The Four Square Step Test (FSST) and The One Leg Standing Test (OLST); trunk control with the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS). Results: The dominant and nondominant NHPT times were higher in patients with AD compared to healthy older adults (p
