متن کاملSensory thresholds in older adults: reproducibility and reference values.
To evaluate the test-retest reproducibility of vibratory perception (VPT) and thermal discrimination (TDT) thresholds on the foot in older adults, we examined 20 50-76-year-old subjects with, and 19 without non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Adjusted reference values for both thresholds were obtained by assessing the relations with age, body height, and sex among 216 subjects with normal ...
متن کامل15.4% of older people with hip fracture have visual impairment, 38.6% auditory impairment and 30.1% combined sensory impairment.
This prospective descriptive correlational study investigated an often overlooked clinical condition in older adults, sensory impairment. The study specifi cally addressed vision and hearing impairment in hospitalised older adults who had sustained a hip fracture. Sensory impairments affect older adults’ ability to interact with and navigate safely in their environment, as demonstrated by the h...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Functional Balance in Children with Sensory Impairment 6 to 14 Years
Aim: The human body is kept in balance by a complicated process including visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive information. Since the postural control systems require information from all three sensory systems in order to achieve or maintain optimal postural stability, the absence of information of one system may have an influence on body sway during balance .The purpose of this study was to ...
