Time-of-day influences postural balance in older adults.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Postural balance assessments are performed in both clinical and basic research settings on a daily basis. During a 24-h time span our physiology and physical performance undergo radical changes as we are influenced by the circadian rhythm. The time-of-day interaction on postural balance is unknown in older adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the time-of-day effect on postural balance in older adults. METHODS:Center of pressure (CoP) excursion was measured (100 Hz) by force plate analysis in 34 older adults during 30 s of narrow quiet bilateral stance. Measurements were performed around 9a.m., 12.30 p.m. and 4 p.m. on the same day. Postural balance was quantified by velocity-moment, confidence ellipse area, total sway area and total sway length. RESULTS:An overall significant time-of-day (between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.) effect was observed for velocity-moment (mm(2)/s) 57 ± 27-65 ± 29 (p = 0.001), confidence ellipse area (mm(2)) 36 ± 16-44 ± 19 (p < 0.001), total sway area (mm(2)) 548 ± 263-627 ± 285 (p = 0.001) and total sway length (mm) 373 ± 120-379 ± 113 (p = 0.037). The variation of postural balance was mostly pronounced from midday (12.30 p.m.) toward the afternoon (4 p.m.) in all sway parameters. Specifically between 12.30 p.m. and 4 p.m. confidence ellipse area increased by 18.5%, total sway area by 17.1%, velocity-moment by 15.8% and total sway length by 4.6%. No differences were observed between 9 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. in any of the sway parameters. CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrates that time-of-day influences postural balance in older adults. These findings have important scientific and clinical relevance, as they imply that time-of-day should be a controlled factor when assessing postural balance in older adults.
