In this episode with Mariana, we discuss a recent article looking at the difference between muscle power and muscle strength in predicting falls in older adults. This paper found the 5x sit to stand as a measure of power was a better predictor of falls compared to manual muscle testing or strength testing using a dynamometer. We discuss:
The implications of this paper for our patientsThe difference and the relationship between muscle power and muscle strengthBest tests to use to assess power output in your patientsHow you can use strength exercises to improve power in patients of all ages with and without equipmentImportance of power and strength for balance training in this population👉🏻 See Mariana’s full Research Review here - https://physio.network/reviews-wingood
