IRCT201204089412N1 IRCT 2013-06-07 Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Vice Chancellor for Research The effects of bilateral simulated knee flexion contracture on postural stability in elderly The effects of bilateral simulated knee flexion contracture on postural stability in elderly 2011-11-22 anticipated 15 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/9927 interventional Randomization: N/A, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Single, Purpose: Prevention. N/A Knee Flexion Contracture. in case group, Postural stability by utilization of two rehabilitation knee braces (adaptable knee range of motion control brace) at 0 and 30 degree of knee joints was evaluated . In 0 degree, braces did not cause any constraint for knee joints. in 30 degree, knee contracture were simulated so knee joints were in 30 degree flexion and extension not allowed. postural stability in standing position with eye open and eye close were assessed by a force platform. test duration was 50 second. any test was in 3 trials and mean of 3 trials was assesed..
