Abstract
The purpose of present study was to determine the effect of The effect of Muscles Pattern Sonification and vision feedback in Fatigue conditions on elderlies balance. twenty healthy elderly(14 women and 6 men) (mean age 66/200 ± 5/72yr) were selected voluntarily. randomly divided into Muscles Pattern Sonification and vision feedback group. The experimental group participated in the exercise program for eight sessions, Stability index score (Overall, Anterior- Posterior and Medial- Lateral) were calculated by Biodex Balance System. Duration of each test was 20 seconds and rest times were 10 seconds. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance tests with the SPSS 22 software . The results showed that 8 sessione balance training program increased balance ability. The results analysis of covariance tests between the two groups in post test showed a significant difference on Stability index Overall (p= 0/02) and Anterior- Posterior balance (p= 0/04). I.e. the exercise group using muscles pattern sonification has shown a better performance related to the balance.We concluded that in Fatigue conditions doing balance exercises using muscles pattern sonification can improve balance criteria , especially in the temporal domain.
