Gait, gait variability and the risk of multiple incident falls in older people: a population-based study.
BACKGROUND it is uncertain as to which measures of gait best predict those who are likely to fall. Our aim was to investigate the associations of gait and gait variability measures with incident falls risk. METHODS individuals aged 60-86 years (n = 412) were randomly selected from the Tasmanian electoral roll. Average gait and gait variability measures were collected on a computerised walkway...
متن کاملAgeing and gait variability--a population-based study of older people.
BACKGROUND gait variability may be an important predictor of falls risk, but its characteristics are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE to examine the relationship between age and gait variability in a population-based sample of older people. DESIGN cross-sectional study. METHODS in people aged 60-86 years (n = 412), temporal and spatial gait variability measures were recorded with a GAITRite w...
متن کاملA population-based study of sensorimotor factors affecting gait in older people.
BACKGROUND the study of factors associated with age-related gait decline may assist in developing methods to preserve mobility in older people. OBJECTIVE to examine the associations between sensorimotor factors relevant to ageing and gait in the general older population. DESIGN cross-sectional population-based study. METHODS participants aged 60-86 years (n = 278) were randomly selected u...
متن کاملDisequilibrium and gait disorders in older people
Disequilibrium is typically described as a feeling of dizziness when standing or walking that is not present while sitting or lying down. Since dizziness is such a common symptom in older people, the symptom may be dismissed as a normal aging phenomenon. On the other hand, the patient may be inappropriately given nonspecific treatment for dizziness such as meclizine or diazepam, which may worse...
متن کاملCognition and gait in older people.
Cognitive difficulties and gait abnormalities both increase with age. We review normal and pathologic changes in both gait and cognition in older adults. Gait performance in older individuals is linked to specific cognitive changes, in particular in executive function. Structural and functional assays highlight the shared anatomic control of cognitive and gait function, mostly in the prefrontal...
