Description

Purpose: We investigated the variations in center of gravity (CG) during a simulation experience for student nurses using braces for imitating motor abilities in the elderly. Method: sixty-three students at the school of nursing were the subjects of this study. Each student performed 13 different daily activities wearing the simulation braces. The variations of CG for each subject were measured by stabilometer 4 times: before putting the braces on; before the performance of 13 daily activities wearing braces; after the performance of 13 daily activities wearing braces; immediately after the removal of the braces. Using a stabilometer, the following parameters were measured: (1) locus length of CG; sum of the length of CG mobility, (2) envelope area; internal area of CG motion, (3) mean of shift in the x-axis direction, (4) mean of shift in the y-axis direction. In addition, the subjects responded to questionnaires after the experiences. Results: (1) The motion which the students rated most difficult was "going down stairs." (2) Locus length of CG with the braces was shorter than that without the braces. The envelope area with the braces was larger than that without the braces. Mean of shift in the y-axis direction with the braces was greater than that without the braces. Mean of shift in the x-axis direction with the braces was smaller than that without the braces. Conclusion: These findings show that the students experienced "lateral thrust" which is a symptom of knee osteoarthritis.
