Abstract
This paper offers a critical appraisal of a 2016 article published in BMC Geriatrics about the effects of lower extremity resistance training on unstable surfaces in healthy, older adults. An introduction to the clinical question which led to the selection of this work is followed by a description of the methods used to select the work. Included in the results section are a summary and appraisal of the article's introduction, methods, results, and discussion. Finally, a discussion is included about the clinical significance, relevance to the clinical question, potential arguments against the intervention, and application to future practice.
