Investigating the effectiveness of postural muscle electrostimulation and static posturography feedback exercises in elders with balance disorder

BACKGROUND: Deterioration associated with aging in the erect posture and balance to change the location of the center increased the rate of fall in older age is one of the reasons. Loss of muscle strength is one of the major factors affecting the posture.
