• Abstract

  Falls are the major cause of injuries and death in people with 65 years or more. The measure of gait variability parameters is an important assessment tool of risk of falls. Previous study identified that the stance time variability was able to discriminate older fallers and non-fallers based on the self-report of falls. According to this previous study it demonstrated that older adults w…

• Abstract

  Introduction: As life expectancy increases, the prevalence of chronic neurodegenerative diseases increases. Among these diseases the second most prevalent is Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a chronic and progressive condition of the nervous system, which leads to the death of Dopamine. Among the symptoms of Parkinson's disease are stiffness, instability Postural, akinesia, bra…

• Abstract

  Parkinson's disease is a disease that mainly affects the elderly population and is characterized by the symptoms of akinesia, tremor, muscle stiffness and bradykinesia. With the progression of the disease, a disturbance in gait, known as freezing, manifests itself in patients, increasing the incidence of falls and reducing the quality of life. Automatic mechanical peripheral pacing (AMP) …

• Abstract

  The increasing life expectancy and the consequent growth of elderly population results in a need of studies that identify a way of better quality of life of this population. Falling is one of the risky factor that involves elderly population health especially elderly with cognitive deficit that are more vulnerable to falling. The analysis of the march on these elderly is essential to unde…
