“…Although there were significant differences in FIM-M, knee extension muscle strength, Frail CS-10, SLS, and TUG between the two groups, each of these measures alone was not a determinant of whether a walking aid was to be used. As balance function correlates with knee extension muscle strength in the elderly [ 41 ], we speculated that the walking aid group had impaired balance function due to diminished knee extension muscle strength and used walking aids to compensate for compromised balance. In addition, previous studies have shown that decreased knee extension muscle strength affected walking stability [ 42 , 43 ].…”

Background: Senior day care centers in Japan are the most commonly used insurance service for frail elderly people, and it is important to examine the factors that influence the use of walking aids at these centers. We aimed to investigate the factors affecting the use of walking aids by frail elderly patients in senior daycare centers. Methods: A total of 131 frail elderly people (mean age 82.7 ± 6.4 years) formed our study population. They were divided into two groups: solo walking (n = 87) and walking aid (n = 44). Individuals with cognitive decline were excluded. All participants were assessed using Functional Independence Measure Motor (FIM-M) sub-scores. Grip strength, knee extension strength, the 10 s Chair Stand test for Frail elderly (Frail CS-10), Single Leg Standing (SLS), and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests were measured and compared between the two groups. Results: The walking aid group scored significantly lower than the solo walking group for five items: FIM-M, knee extension muscle strength, Frail CS-10, SLS, and TUG (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that knee extension muscle strength was the only factor that affected the use or disuse of walking aids (p < 0.05). The cut-off value of the knee extensor muscle strength-to-weight ratio for walking alone was 28.5%. Conclusions: Knee extensor muscle strength was the most important factor in determining the use of a walking aid.

“…The study found that both a sedentary lifestyle and low physical activity levels have a significant impact on postural parameters [ 37 ]. It appears that engaging in physical activity can enhance body condition through the improvement of muscle strength, balance, flexibility, and range of motion [ 38 ]. Additionally, a healthier lifestyle in women is associated with increased awareness, motivation and commitment to ERBE.…”

Background This study focuses on identifying the key factors associated with ergonomic behaviors (ERBE) among women workers on assembly lines (WwAL) to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by repetitive motions and unfavorable body postures. To achieve this objective, this study employed Bayesian networks (BN) analysis based on social cognitive theory (SCT). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the predictive factors of ERBE among 250 WwAL from six different industries located in Neyshabur, a city in northeastern Iran. The study used a two-stage cluster sampling method for participant selection and self-report questionnaires to collect data on demographic characteristics, variables associated with SCT, ERBE, and the standard Nordic questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using Netica and SPSS version 21, which involved statistical analyses such as independent t-tests, Pearson correlation, and ANOVA tests at a significance level of p < 0.05. BN analysis was conducted to identify the important factors that impact ERBE. Results The majority of individuals reported experiencing chronic pain in their back, neck, and shoulder areas. Engaging in physical activity, consuming dairy products, and attaining a higher level of education were found to be significantly associated with the adoption of ERBE p < 0.05. Among the various SCT constructs, observational learning, intention, and social support demonstrated the highest levels of sensitivity towards ERBE, with scores of 4.08, 3.82, and 3.57, respectively. However, it is worth noting that all SCT constructs exhibited a certain degree of sensitivity towards ERBE. Conclusions The research findings demonstrate that all constructs within SCT are effective in identifying factors associated with ERBE among WwAL. The study also highlights the importance of considering education levels and variables related to healthy lifestyles when promoting ERBE in this specific population.

“…27 will reducing dynamic balance and the risk of falling in the elderly. 8 Another study conducted by Asti et al (2017) found that respondents with good moderate muscle strength had a low risk of falling, and no elderly with moderate muscle strength had a high risk of falling. In other words, this study shows a relationship between muscle strength and the risk of falling in the elderly caused by balance disorders.…”

“…There was also a significant relationship between ankle dorsiflexion muscle strength with dynamic balance and risk of falling (p≤0.05). 8 This is because balance is a complex movement skill that describes postural dynamics in preventing falls. 25 Postural control and balance is a function of the interaction between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.…”

“…6 Dynamic balance is the ability to maintain the body's position in motion and where the center of gravity (COG) is always changing, while static balance is the ability to maintain the body's position in a state of rest and where the center of gravity (COG) does not change. 7 Based on research conducted by Zarei et al, (2020) showed that the muscle strength of hip extension, hip abduction, hamstring, quadriceps, and ankle plantar flexion had a significant relationship with dynamic balance and the risk of falling. In other words, increasing muscle strength…”

Background: Elderly is someone who has reached the age of 60 years and over. Along with increasing age, a person will experience physical changes in the musculoskeletal system, which causes a decrease in the number of muscle fibers and muscle mass. This can result in a decrease in muscle strength, especially in the leg muscles, which is one of the factors that can affect the balance of the human body. The decreased dynamic balance will result in the risk of injury in the elderly. Objective: The aim of this study was to prove the relationship of leg muscle strength and dynamic balance in the elderly. Methods: The design of this study was a cross sectional study conducted in April 2021 with a population of all elderly people in Banjar Jasan, Desa Sebatu, Kecamatan Tegalalang, Kabupaten Gianyar, that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, so that 46 samples were obtained. Measurement of muscle strength using a Leg Dynamometer and dynamic balance using the TUG test. Data analyzed using computer software, namely the Pearson test to determine the relationship of leg muscle strength and dynamic balance. Results: The results showed that from 46 elderly there was a relationship of leg muscle strength and dynamic balance using the Pearson test with p results of 0.001 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of -0.819 (r > 0.05) which indicates a very strong correlation. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a very strong and negative relationship between leg muscle strength and dynamic balance in the elderly.
