Purpose: Healthy aging is the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and safety in order to improve quality of life as people age. This study aimed to provide healthy aging for people with cognitive impairment through the use of the Nintendo Switch combined with Occupational Therapy sessions. Material and methods: a randomized clinical trial was conducted. The sample was randomized using a software program, OxMar, which allowed the separation of the sample into a control group (CG), which received their usual sessions of conventional occupational therapy, and an experimental group (EG), which received therapy with Nintendo Switch, plus their conventional occupational therapy sessions. An 8-week intervention was conducted with Nintendo Switch. Measures: Nine Hole Peg Test, Box and Block Test, Barthel Index, WHOQOL-BREF, CSQ-8.
Hyperkyphosis, defined as excessive sagittal curvature of the thoracic spine, is the most common spinal deformity in elderly individuals. The prevalence of hyperkyphosis in elderly individuals is reported to be between 20% and 40%. Hyperkyphosis affects the mobility, walking, and balance of the individual negatively and causes changes in the physical performance of elderly individuals. Therefore, it is important to evaluate and treat hyperkyphosis in elderly people. One of the approaches to treating people with hyperkyphosis is the use of spinal orthoses such as the Spinomed orthosis and Biofeedback orthosis. Regular use of spinal orthoses reduces the angle of kyphosis by 11%. In addition, spinal orthoses help increase walking speed and distance, improve balance, and prevent falls. Spinomed and Biofeedback soft posture orthoses are spinal orthoses used in the treatment of kyphotic posture. Studies on Spinomed orthosis have demonstrated that it strengthens postural muscles, and therefore also prevents falls. Soft orthoses, which provide feedback, provide a warning to the individual through sound or vibration when the spinal alignment of the individual is disturbed, and provide the correction of posture with active muscle strength. However, little evidence exists regarding the effect of these two orthoses on improving balance and walking performance in elderly people with thoracic hyperkyphosis. Therefore, this study was developed to enable a comparison of the effect of the Spinomed orthosis and the biofeedback orthosis on balance and walking performance in elderly people with thoracic hyperkyphosis.
Bibliotherapy has been mainly focused on the social and emotional problems of children and young people, and studies with the elderly are very few. Based on the suggestion of meeting the right book with the right individual, which is the basis of bibliotherapy, it is predicted that the bibliotherapy method can be useful in reducing depression and increasing hope in the elderly, with the selection of books that are suitable for the cognitive levels of the elderly.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of chair-based yoga with rehabilitation on quality of life is affected in elderly people. Depending on the changes in the body as a result of aging, people's quality of life is affected. In order to increase or protect the quality of life in elderly people, telerehabilitation practices are emphasized. Telerehabilitation is a promising system for the elderly thanks to its advantages. As a practice, chair-based yoga, a modified form of yoga, was preferred. Chair-based yoga makes yoga more doable and safe for older people. Chair-based yoga with telerehabilitation was performed with the participants. Pain level, sleep status, functional capacity, quality of life, mental health and depression were followed by evaluations at the beginning and end of the process.
The main objective of this study is to compare the well-being of a group of seniors participating for a month in face-to-face sessions of artistic and olfactory activities with another group of seniors performing the same type of activity for a month but remotely with connection to a dedicated application. Well-being, Quality of Life, Health, Apathy and Olfactory identification scales are proposed before the intervention, at the end of the intervention (V0, V1), then 3 months after the end of the intervention. A Usability Evaluation questionnaire will be sent to the participants of the remote group after use (V1).
The increase in life expectancy worldwide, added to the decrease in birth rates, has resulted in an increase in the aging population. In the case of Chile, 11.4% of its inhabitants are older adults and specifically, in the Til-Til commune, 14.65% of the total population is over 60 years of age, directly affecting the neuromuscular system and mainly cardiorespiratory. Therefore, the older person lives longer, but with a lower quality of life. Physical exercise appears as a non-pharmacological alternative to improve the quality of life, physical and cognitive functions. The "multi-component training" consists of a program that combines strength, resistance, balance and gait training, and is the one that presents the greatest improvements in the functional capacity of the elderly person. The objective of the present investigation is to relate the effects of a multi-component training schedule by phases on the quality of life, functional capacity and physiological parameters in a group of people over 60 to 80 years of age in the commune of Til-Til.
The proportion of people aged 60 and over in the French population has increased from 18% in 1970 to over 22% in 2010. One major problem in the elderly is falling. About half of these falls cause a minor injury and between 5% and 25% will cause a more serious injury such as a fracture or a sprain (Alexander et al., 1992; Nevitt et al., 1991). It therefore seems essential to study the locomotion of seniors to limit the maximum risk of falling into a public health measure. Two factors may be involved: 1. The first corresponds to factors related to natural aging topics 2. The second is the environment that is a real problem for seniors (Rolling showers, presence of works ....) And especially the port of inappropriate footwear. Indeed, most of the elderly, institutionalized or not, do not wear proper shoes. It is this parameter that will be highlighted in our study.
The aim of this research is to assess the immune enhancing property of food fibers in the elderly population.
The objective of the study is to examine the efficacy and safety of QuietCare in a randomized, open study in elderly subjects living in assisted/ independent living facilities for 6 months.
