The outlined order of exercises that we followed included: dorsiflexors, biceps, knee extensions, triceps 1 and triceps 2, leg lifts, shoulders, plantar flexors, hip flexors, knee flexors, hip abductors and hip flexors. Furthermore, elderly participants had co-contraction of the plantar flexors and dorsiflexors throughout the passive proprioceptive positioning task. Emphasizing dorsiflexion at heel-strike and strengthening the dorsiflexors using progressive resistance strength training may be productive. |
