Study: NCT05224362

Intervention type: DEVICE
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: A repeated measures acute study using using elastic resistance bands in older adults to challenge stability.
Description: A repeated measures acute study using using elastic resistance bands in older adults to challenge stability. Exercises with an elastic resistance band anchored from the ground and placed at the hip and chest region will be trialled. Bertec force plate analysis will be performed to assess the acute effects on balance and stability. A semi- structured interview will identify the impact and practicalities of the intervention. The information will be used in the development of an evaluation process with key consideration of the planning phase of the intervention. Questions with verbal cues to provide perceptions of the exercise selection such as likes/ dislikes, safety, confidence, difficulty, enjoyment and band placement will be asked to determine the acceptability, accessibility, appropriateness and usability of the protocol and build insights into the participant preferences.
