Summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of wearing bilateral proprioceptive knee braces on the endurance of subjects aged 60 to 80 years.

Detailed description

Sporting activity has proven health benefits, particularly for older adults, whose balance and neuromuscular functions decline with age. On the other hand, physical activity in the elderly population may be hampered by inadequate physical condition, muscle or proprioceptive deficits, or fear of falling or injuring. A proprioceptive knee brace could therefore make physical activity safer and thus improve performance, balance, and ultimately the quality of life of the participants. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of wearing bilateral proprioceptive knee braces on the endurance of subjects aged 60 to 80 years.
