Affecting millions of people worldwide, particularly among older adults, these conditions often become the main reason for hiring senior care professionals. As a senior care professional, having a deep understanding of these diseases is a must to provide the best possible support and care. This is...
This disbalance also affected the gender balance, something we discuss towards the end of the paper. 4. Results We first report the descriptive statistics. Table 1 presents the descriptive statistics for the continuous variables by group (c = control, i = intervention). We can see ...
Kalman filter parameters have been optimized in preliminary trials to strike a good balance between the noise in the real-time recorded data and the noise in the estimated data. The actuator's final position reference trajectory, θref(t), is obtained using cubic spline interpolation on the ...
In women, cortisol, as well as estrogen and progesterone, play an important role in fat distribution. Women with a good hormonal balance will find it easier to control their body composition. In men, studies have shown that lower levels of testosterone are associated with increased body fat. ...
People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) commonly experience postural instability, resulting in poor balance and an increased risk of falls. Exercise-based video gaming (exergaming) is a form of physical training that is delivered through virtual reality te
Therefore, walking velocity in PD as a basis for treatment should receive more attention11. Exercise has been shown to improve walking velocity in PD12. At the same time, two head-to-head RCT studies demonstrated that aerobic exercise and treadmill-based balance and gait training significantly ...
Balance Exercises– Practices like tai chi improve stability and prevent falls, especially in older adults. Making Movement a Lifelong Habit The key to reaping the longevity benefits of exercise is consistency. It’s not necessary to engage in intense workouts; even moderate activity, such as 30 ...

The evolution to bipedalism forced humans to develop suitable strategies for dynamically controlling their balance, ensuring stability, and preventing falling. The natural aging process and traumatic events such as lower-limb loss can alter the human ability to control stability significantly increasing th...
