program after the completion of the study. The participants were asked to return at weekly intervals (1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 5‚ 7‚ 10 and 15 respectively) to have a reading of their blood pressure taken by the researchers. The researchers used the same sphygmomanometer for each participant and the readings were taken 5 minutes after arrival at the research centre.

As the older person population increases in size‚ the percentage of fall risk will also likely to increase as a consequences reduction in balance. Age-associated functional declines in muscle strength and the sensory systems‚ in addition to several other issues‚ such as cognitive function may contribute to the reductions of balance in older person. There are many screening test widely available that can be used to test balance in older person. According to Mancini and Horak (2010)‚ the primary reasons

The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances

Mr. Smith now needs his blood pressure checked that includes an instrument called a sphygmomanometer which has a cuff that’s placed on the arm and pumps up to cut off blood circulation. Then the cuff slowly deflates and the doctor uses the stethoscope to listen as the blood moving through arteries. Reading the blood pressure isn’t really that
