Discussion

This study investigates muscle strength and proprioception effects on stability, revealing sex differences in older adults.

Stability is positively influenced by muscle strength while proprioception negatively affects stability only in males.
Females show lower muscle strength and proprioception levels compared to males, highlighting sex differences.
Structural equation modeling assessed relationships among muscle strength, proprioception, and postural stability.
Proprioception negatively impacts stability only among older males, suggesting targeted interventions may be needed.

Gao et al. (2025) studied this question.
