Assessing balance is crucial for identifying fall risk and implementing interventions in the older population. This study aimed to measure age-dependent changes in static and dynamic balance using inertial measurement units in a clinical setting. This study included 82 healthy participants aged 20-85 years. For the dynamic balance test, participants stood on a horizontally swaying balance board. For the static balance test, they stood on one leg. Inertial measurement units attached to their bodies recorded kinematic data, with average absolute angular velocities assessing balance capabilities. In the dynamic test, the younger participants had smaller average absolute angular velocities in most body parts than those of the miSensors (Basel, Switzerland)Age-Related Influence on Static and Dynamic Balance Abilities: An Inertial Measurement Unit-Based Evaluation.PMC11548656MOST 110-2634-F-002-042-CHGH113-UTN28CHGH112-(UT)05NDMC-112-02MOST 111-2221-E-002-190-MY3NDMC-112-02, CHGH112-(UT)05, CHGH113-UTN28MOST 110-2634-F-002 -042- , MOST 111-2221-E-002 -190 -MY3Tan YKPan WRLin TTCheng LYChen CCWang FCChen SFfalseAge-Related Influence on Static and Dynamic Balance Abilities: An Inertial Measurement Unit-Based Evaluation.Balance control, a complex sensorimotor skill, declines with age.
