Disequilibrium 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.

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...
متن کاملA Comparison of Gait Characteristics in the Elderly People, People with Knee Pain, and People Who Are Walker Dependent People
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the gait parameters of age-matched people with a normal gait (≥ 65 years), age-matched people with knee pain, and age-matched people with walker dependent gait at a self-selected gait speed. [Methods] Subjects walked on even ground in bare feet and were allowed a natural arm swing on a 6-m walkway. Walker-dependent participants walked on a walk...
متن کاملGait, balance and plantar pressures in older people with toe deformities.
Older people with toe deformities have been identified as having an increased risk of falling. Little is known, however, about the biomechanical changes that might contribute to this increased risk. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether older people with hallux valgus and lesser toe deformities displayed different gait, balance and plantar pressure characteristics compar...
متن کاملAdaptability of mastication in people with implant-supported bridges.
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine whether people with implant-supported bridges in both jaws, thus lacking periodontal receptors, adjust jaw muscle activity to food hardness during mastication. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirteen participants with implant-supported bridges in both jaws and 13 with natural dentition chewed and swallowed soft and hard gelatine-based model foods, while electromyograph...
