Effect of Sleep Deprivation on Sensory Integration of Balance, Fall Risk and Postural Stability
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Sleepiness caused by sleep deprivation may increase the risk of injuries and damages during physical activity. Individual data so far indicates worsening of postural stability and control with females exhibiting better static postural stability regardless of sleeping conditions in comparison to men. However, the literature is deficient in terms of postural stability conditions with eyes open and eyes closed states, as well as fall risk and sensory integration of balance.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postural Stability Index [24 hours]
Postural stability Index will be measured via Biodex Balance System. A lower score represents better postural stability.
- Fall Risk Score [24 hours]
Fall Risk Score will be measured via Biodex Balance System. A lower score represents better postural stability.
- Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance [24 hours]
Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance will be measured via Biodex Balance System. A lower score represents better postural stability.
