Postural Sway Complexity in Healthy Older Adults and Individuals with Asthma

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The goal of the dissertation was to examine the loss of complexity hypothesis in context of postural control of healthy community-dwelling older adults (over 65) and younger adults with asthma (under 30).The loss of complexity provides a dynamical systems framework for understanding the relation between adaptability and complexity of a physiological (or behavioral) system and the dynamics of the resulting output from this system.It predicts that with the simplification of the system due to aging and disease (e.g., loss of functional degrees of freedom or coupling between them), the outputs
