Observational study aimed to identify the correlation between dominant and non-dominant hip muscle strength with static balance parameters using stabilometry (center of pressure (COP) range sway, velocity sway, and weight distribution) in elderly in nursing homes.
24 elderly patients in nursing homes with an age range of 60-94 years were assessed using the Time Up and Go Test, Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE), Berg Balance Scale, 10 meter walking test, Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale, stabilometry and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) assessments as well as hip muscle strength examinations.
