Clinical trials: Muscle Balance
Sarcopenia
Inspiratory Muscle Training on Balance, Falls and Diaphragm Thickness in the Elderly
Decreases in body muscle mass, function and strength occur with ageing and this condition is called "sarcopenia". It is known that sarcopenic elderly people fall more than non-sarcopenic elderly people, their balance is…
