Gait asymmetry in patients with Parkinson’s disease and elderly fallers: when does the bilateral coordination of gait require attention? Exp Brain Res. 2007;177:336–46. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-006-0676-3. Article PubMed Google Scholar Laroche DP, Cook SB, Mackala K. Strength ...
In a national 5 % sample of Medicare beneficiaries, these investigators identified 30,161 elderly patients who attended at least 1 cardiac rehabilitation session between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2005. They used a Cox proportional hazards model to estimate the relationship between the number...
The field of rehabilitation robotics considers robotic systems that 1) provide therapy for persons seeking to recover their physical, social, communication, or cognitive function, and/or that 2) assist persons who have a chronic disability to accomplish.

ERB are used in human physical therapy to improve muscle strength and achieve earlier return to function after surgery [1, 2], in elderly adults [3], osteoarthritis [4], and stroke injury [5]. Limited data have been published using ERB for veterinary conditions, but they are commonly used...
This scenario is significantly affecting public expenses related to older people's healthcare, giving a burden to young generations who will have to ensure the economic, social, and welfare balance that the elderly in increasing numbers will need. It would be desirable to improve welfare expenses ...

such as adjusting the starting difficulty based on the level of impairment or providing customizable training programs before the tool can be tested during (i) the acute stage in hospitals or (ii) continued training in minimally supervised settings, e.g., community centers or at the patient’s...
Altogether the studies on healthy participants reported an association between the PFC, SMA and SMC and control of gait speed. Moreover, the involvement of the left PFC might depend on an age-related decline in gait capacity in the elderly [192]. ...
Main provision of rehabilitation therapies occurs at hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Evidence of enhanced recovery related to more extensive training has been found [12], but limited resources at these facilities often obstruct extended care during the chronic stage. This calls for new therapeutic...
