An observational study in Sleep Quality and Postural Stability, sponsored by Shaimaa Mohamed Ahmed Elsayeh. Completed at 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Open to participants aged 67 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-09-25.

The sleep disorders are common among older adults and comprises of wide spectrum of the sleep related issues like poor sleep quality, sleep deprivation and excessive day time sleepiness.
Earlier studies were carried to determine the effect of sleep deprivation on the postural control parameters. The effect of poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness on the postural control were not widely studied. Aim : To determine the effect of the sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness on the postural stability during quiet standing and whether this influence vary based on the availability of the visual feedback.
324 studies on the registry are indexed under Dyssomnias; 51 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is below the median of 126 across 63 observational studies indexed under Dyssomnias.

Postural stability using STABLE platform
The Postural stability of the participants was assessed using STABLE by Motek medical that made in Netherlands. During each trial, participants were made to stand quietly for 30 seconds on the platform of STABLE with open eyes first and after that with closed eyes "Individuals should initially complete two sessions of test with open eyes, then followed with closed eyes". And after that comparison of postural stability between both normal sleepiness and excessive daytime sleepiness groups.

Sleep parameters using the Arabic version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
The Arabic version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), it's a self-administered validated questionnaire to ass the quality of sleep over previous weeks. The PSQI is comprehensive and consists of 19 items combined into seven subscales: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medications and daytime dysfunction. The scores of each component range from 0 to 3 and global or total PSQI score is calculated by summing all the scores of all seven components yielding a maximum possible score of 21. The higher scores reflecting poor sleep quality. In the current study, the cut-off score of more than 5 to categorize as poor sleep quality. It also will be used to align the participants to either normal sleepiness group or excessive day time sleepiness group.

Day time sleepiness using The Arabic version of Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
The Arabic version of Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was administered to determine the daytime sleepiness The ESS necessitates the user to report the chance of dozing as per four-point scale \[0 indicates no chance of dosing, 1 indicates slight chance of dozing, 2 indicates moderate chance of dozing, 3 indicates high chance of dozing\] in eight given situations. The scores of the ESS range from 0 to 24, higher scores demonstrating excessive daytime sleepiness. In the current study, the cut-off score of more than 10 to categorize as excessive daytime sleepiness. It will be used to align the participants to either normal sleepiness group or excessive day time sleepiness group.
