Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the balance and dual-task activities of Kinetic Brain Exercises in healthy elderly individuals living in nursing homes.
The aim was to examine the validity and reliability of the Social Frailty Index in Turkish among older adults. 65 years and above older adults will be included included in the study. Older adults who agree to participate in the study will first be administered the Hodkinson Mental Test. Those who score 6 points and above will be included in the study. To evaluate the validity of the "Social Frailty Index", Social Inclusion Scale, Older people's quality of life-brief (OPQOL-brief) and Lubben Social Network Scale will be applied to the participants. To determine the reliability of the "Social Frailty Index", older adults who do not receive any treatment will be tested and re-tested at one-week intervals.
Fall incidents are the third cause of chronic disability in the elderly, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Recent reviews demonstrate that multifactorial and multicomponent intervention programs are effective in preventing falls in community-dwelling older adults. However, the application of these programs may not be accessible to a large part of the elderly population. The lack of continuity in the treatment of the consequences of falls, as well as the dissemination of prevention measures for this patient profile, could be minimized through the use of information and communication technologies. Method: This will be a randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate the effects of two fall prevention strategies via telerehabilitation for elderly fallers after admission to an emergency room. It will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team with interventions for eight weeks and monitoring of outcomes over a period of four months. Patients will be evaluated regarding aspects of functionality in the second and month after the interventions and regarding the recurrence of falls during the four-month period. Discussion: The hypothesis is that the programs are viable in terms of accessibility to home training. However, to date, there is no evidence about the differences between these forms of interventions to prevent falls via telecare.
The aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the hand ability scale in the elderly population. Thus, the psychometric properties of the scale, which evaluates hand use in daily life activities in detail and functionally, will be determined in the elderly and an alternative method will be created to evaluate hand functions in the elderly.The sample of the study consists of 220 elderly individuals aged 65 and over residing in the city center of Isparta. Two independent native Turkish translators performed forward translation. To ensure clinical consistency, it was sent to an expert committee of seven expert physiotherapists, 2 neurologists, 1 gerontologist, and 2 translators with no medical or clinical background to reveal vague concepts in the original questionnaire. A single consequent Turkish translation was formed from the combination of the two translations The Turkish scale was translated back into English by two English-native speakers who speak Turkish fluently, and the English version of the scale was compared to the original. A group of experts authorized the final version of the document in Turkish, which was back ward translation. Translators reviewed the translations and compared certain inconsistencies.
Pancreatic cancer mainly affects the elderly, with over 85% of patients diagnosed after the age of 60 and over half after the age of 70. In France, the incidence of pancreatic cancer is currently around 14,000 new cases per year, making it the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women and the fifth in men. Surgery is currently the only curative option available to patients, but it is not an option for many patients who already have metastatic or locally advanced cancer at the time of diagnosis. The main studies carried out on this type of intervention in the elderly focus on the surgical aspect, and the tolerability of such surgery is not well studied. The aim of this study is to describe the impact of pancreatic surgery on the independence in daily activities and quality of life of patients aged over 70 with pancreatic cancer. These patients underwent surgery at Édouard Herriot Hospital (Hospices Civils de Lyon) since July 2021, and the assessment will be conducted through telephone questionnaires. It is hypothesised that these patients will be able to maintain their independence in terms of daily activities.
This study refers to the supplementation of PS23 in human experiments to help the elderly maintain muscle mass, delay muscle loss, promote physical activity, and delay the occurrence of disability and debilitation in elderly people.
For the elderly using plyometric training, there are very few studies on strengthening the explosive power of the lower limbs of the elderly. For example, past studies have explored the effect of high-speed and low-speed plyometric training on the improvement of muscle contraction speed in the elderly over 60 years old. From the past researches, the study found that compared with low-speed training, High-speed training can not only improve muscle strength, but also effectively increase muscle speed and improve life functions. However, studies using plyometric training to improve lower body balance in older adults are scarce and the evidence is scant. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the clinical benefits of plyometric training for improving the balance ability of the lower limbs in the elderly.
The aim of our study is to determine the predictive value of pre-anesthesia FTc for hypotension that may develop after general anesthesia induction in patients over 65 years of age and to investigate the correlation between pre-anesthesia FTc and the magnitude of the maximum decrease in systolic blood pressure from the pre-anaesthetic value.
This study investigated the impact of traditional classical Turkish music as a telehealth intervention on reducing stress and loneliness among elderly individuals.
This research will be carried out in order to determine the effect of the flower pressure activity applied to the elderly in the nursing home on the anxiety levels of the elderly.
