Falls and postural control in older adults with cataracts
Background: There is increasing evidence that visual impairment contribute to falling. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of vision impairment of old adult patients with cataract on the occurrence of falls and postural control. Methods:According to the results of screening ophthalmic examination, 48 cataract patients (mean±SD aged 68.5 ± 6.08 yrs.) and 50 individuals withou...

متن کاملGait instability and fractal dynamics of older adults with a "cautious" gait: why do certain older adults walk fearfully?
Many older adults walk with a cautious and impaired gait of unknown origin, however, the relationship between fear of falling and the observed gait changes is not well understood. To better understand the "cautious" gait of the elderly, we tested the hypothesis that temporal gait variability, putatively a marker of intrinsic walking unsteadiness, is increased among older adults with a cautious ...
متن کاملPostural Control in Older Adults
M aintaining balance is essential to carrying out daily tasks without falling. This review will describe the impact of impaired postural control on older adults, operationalize what is meant by postural control, and outline postural control test batteries. Findings from highly quantitative, laboratorybased studies will be discussed because these data serve as the foundation of knowledge regardi...
متن کاملInvestigation of Gait Initiation in Women With Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Background: Walking impairment is one of the most reported symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The documentation of gait impairments is important for indexing disease progression and rehabilitation in MS. By measuring and comparing relevant parameters based on the Center of Pressure (COP) patterns, this study aimed to characterize the execution of the gait task and to identify the relationship...
