摘要

The present study investigated how young and older individuals organize their posture in response to self-induced balance perturbations evoked by oscillatory single limb movements. Eleven old (70.1+/-4.3 years) and nine young (20.1+/-2.4 years) participants performed repeatedly for 5s hip flexion/extension movements using full range of motion and maximum velocity. Two-dimensional joint kinematics (sampling rate: 60Hz), center of pressure (CoP) and EMG activity of tibialis anterior (TA), medial gastrocnemius (MGAS) rectus femoris (RF) and, semitendinosus (ST) in the stance limb were recorded and analysed. Cross-correlation function (CCF) analysis was used to identify the degree of coupling between the swinging limb (SL), center of gravity (CoG) and CoP motions. Old adults significantly limited SL, CoG and CoP range of anterior/posterior (A/P) motion in response to the forceful leg swinging. In the stance limb, significantly lower levels of ankle muscle activity resulted in reduced hip and knee joint excursions and increased ankle instability. By contrast, young performers produced sufficient ankle muscle activity to stabilize the foot to the ground while progressively increasing joint range of motion from the ankle to the hip. Center of pressure and SL movements were strongly correlated in an anti-phase relationship in both age groups. In older adults, however, the relationship between CoG-SL and CoG-CoP movements was neither strong nor synchronous, reflecting a weaker coupling and lack of coordination between component movements. It is concluded that insufficient ankle muscle activity, central integration deficits and increased anxiety to postural threat are important factors implicated for the weaker postural synergies and freezing of degrees of freedom seen in the elderly during performance of single limb oscillations.
