Can the control of bodily orientation be significantly improved in a group of older adults with a history of falls?
Theory-driven rehabilitation programs that focus on manipulating individual, task, and environmental constraints concurrently can significantly improve the control of bodily orientation of older adults with a previous history of falls in both static and dynamic action environments. Moreover, the significant improvements in functional performance observed for the intervention group suggest that interventions emphasizing task-specific practice are not the only means by which an older adult's ability to perform daily activities requiring postural control can be improved.
Systemic LPL deletion results in impaired glucose tolerance, whole-body and tissue-specific insulin resistance, which is associated with tissue lipid deposition in various insulin target tissues. Furthermore, the activation of oxidative stress and ER stress may play an important role in the development of tissue-specific and systemic insulin resistance.
