An Exploratory Approach to In-Trinity(RTM) for Fall Prevention

LaVertu, Denis John, III 17 November 2017 (has links)
<p> The purpose of this investigation was to determine if an 8-week exercise intervention, using the In-Trinity<sup>&reg;</sup> Board, could improve physical and mental characteristics linked to fall risk. A secondary purpose was to determine if the improvements would be greater among the In-Trinity<sup> &reg;</sup><sup>&reg;</sup> group than those found in a movement-matched floor group or the control group. </p><p> Thirteen older adults aged 67.15 &plusmn; 9.84 years participated in the study. Participants completed assessments evaluating muscular strength, muscular endurance, balance, flexibility, agility, and balance confidence. </p><p> Results of a Two-way mixed design MANOVA showed the Group x Time interaction was not significant. The main effects of group and time were also not significant. Improvements were seen in the In-Trinity<sup>&reg;</sup> group as well as the movement-matched floor group. Based on these results, the In-Trinity<sup> &reg;</sup> program could be utilized to improve multiple characteristics related to fall prevention, although significant changes have yet to be determined. </p><p>
