Balance Problems

The widespread use of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops has significantly increased screen exposure, especially before sleep. Prolonged screen use may contribute to poor posture by promoting forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and other musculoskeletal problems. In addition, screen exposure before sleep may negatively affect sleep quality and neuromuscular performance, which may in turn influence postural control and balance.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of gluteus medius activation using electromyography (EMG) biofeedback combined with balance training on balance, physical performance, gluteus medius muscle activity, and quality of life in osteoporotic elderly patients.
