Effects of an Adapted Physical Activity on the Postural Control of Residents in Nursing Home.

April 16, 2019 updated by: Thomas Bugnon, University of Lausanne

Effects of Adapted Physical Activity on the Static and Dynamic Postural Control of Residents in Nursing Home: an Exploratory Study of 8 Weeks in the Réseau Santé de la Glâne (Canton of Fribourg, Switzerland).

This study measures the effects of an Adapted Physical Activity on postural control of residents in nursing home. Half of participants will follow a program training 3 times a week during 8 weeks, while the other half will receive the usual accompaniment.
