Background. Previous studies have shown that postural stability can be enhanced by directing performers’ attention to the effects of their movements (external focus), rather than to the body movements producing the effect (internal focus). Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effects of attentional focus and a Supra postural task on postural control in older adults. Methods. The study method involved the focus of attention which was manipulated by instructing subjects to hold a glass full of water while focusing on either hand or glass. The center of pressure (COP) tests were performed on the participants in the following four conditions: baseline, control, the external focus of attention (EFA), and the internal focus of attention (IFA). Balance assessment and training were conducted using the Biodex Stability System (BSS). Results. Analysis of variance with repeated measures showed that attentional focus affected both the postural and the supra-postural task (p<0.05). Also, the results of independent t-test showed that no significant difference existed between internal-external focus conditions (p<0.05). Conclusion. This study suggests that application of automatic control processes can be facilitated by simply directing performers’ attention away from their own movements.

注意焦点会影响在社区居住的老年人的姿势和姿势上任务的摇摆

背景。先前的研究表明,通过将表演者的注意力转移到他们的动作效果(外部焦点)上,而不是注意产生这种效果的身体动作(内部焦点),可以增强姿势稳定性。目标。这项研究旨在调查注意焦点和Supra姿势任务对老年人姿势控制的影响。方法。研究方法涉及注意力的集中,方法是指示受检者在手或玻璃上集中注满水的情况下进行操作。在以下四个条件下对参与者进行了压力中心(COP)测试:基线,控制,外部关注点(EFA)和内部关注点(IFA)。使用Biodex稳定性系统(BSS)进行平衡评估和培训。结果。重复测量的方差分析表明,注意焦点同时影响姿势和姿势上的任务(p <0.05)。另外,独立t检验的结果表明,内外焦点条件之间不存在显着差异(p <0.05)。结论。这项研究表明,只需将表演者的注意力从自己的动作中移开,即可促进自动控制过程的应用。
