Overview

This analysis reveals that muscle strength and physical functioning predict postural balance in sarcopenic individuals, indicating key intervention points.

Key Points

  • Hand grip strength is the dominant predictor of static balance performance in older adults.
  • Dynamic balance is significantly influenced by gait speed, muscle strength, and age; therefore, improvements must focus on these factors.
  • The study assessed 1026 older adults, screening for sarcopenia and utilizing multiple clinical tests to evaluate balance.
  • Resistance and strength-functional training protocols are recommended for enhancing balance rehabilitation in sarcopenia management.
