“…Anosmia and hyposmia are common in the general population [15,81] and can be associated with various conditions such as tumours, infections, nephropathies, epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases [79,82]. Women have lower olfactory thresholds and these abnormalities increase with ageing [81,83]. Both anosmia and hyposmia have also been associated with neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease) as predictors [81,84].…”

Purpose: The objective of this study was to review the literature to find scientific evidence about the mechanisms involved in orofacial sensory interaction, including trigeminal and special sensory modalities. Views: Conscious sensory perception depends on peripheral external and internal stimuli, which are integrated and processed in central neural centres in order to promote the sensory experience through learning and memory. In the orofacial region, besides somatosensory inputs, there are special sensory modalities (gustation, olfaction, vision and audition) that interact with trigeminal ascendant inputs in a way that makes this area of the body unique. Moreover, the trigeminal nerve may have an important role due to the complex functions of this region, including breathing, feeding and detecting threats. In recent decades the development of equipment accurate enough to detect sensory thresholds has produced a wide range of evidence about orofacial interaction, which allows for the possible development of a unified underlying theory on this issue. Conclusions: The trigeminal system seems to mediate olfactory and gustative sensations in cortical associative centres, and sensory peripheral neural inputs are modulated by physiological and pathological conditions. Future experimental studies should seek to clarify the mechanisms involved in this interaction, and the role of pathological states in abnormalities of sensory thresholds and perception.

“…Salah satu masalah kesehatan besar pada lansia adalah gangguan aktivitas seharihari di mana terjadinya ketidakmampuan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari, sehingga membutuhkan perawatan khusus (Buchman et al, 2012;Venturelli et al, 2016). Gangguan ini, sering menimbulkan keluhan berupa nyeri pada persendian, akibatnya akan membatasi aktivitas dan akan memberikan efek lanjut penurunan massa tulang sehingga mudah mengalami cedera dan bahkan patah tulang, penurunan kualitas hidup, depresi, trauma terjatuh, lansia dengan masuk ke dalam kelompok perawatan jangka panjang, dan kematian (Bruckenthal, 2012;Da Silva et al, 2018).…”

Terapi infra merah merupakan salah satu terapi panas yang dapat digunakan oleh lansia. Manfaat terapi infra merah bagi lansia, salah satunya untuk menurunkan rasa nyeri akibat peradangan pada sistem muskuloskeletal. Efek yang masih sering ditemukan adalah terbakar ringan pada kulit. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk memberikan keamanan terapi pada lansia yang mengalami penurunan fungsi sensitivitas kulit dengan menambahkan sistem otomatis kontrol suhu dengan dikenalkan nama SIMOKS. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan penelitian pengembangan dan menghasilkan alat terapi infra merah baru dengan menambahkan sensor panas dan sensor jarak. Sensor panas sebagai pengendali panas maksimum yang aman bagi lansia antara suhu 39,50 - 410 C. Sensor jarak sebagai pengaman terapi panas ke kulit. Hasil pengembangan alat terapi sinar infra merah dengan otomatis kontrol suhu (SIMOKS) ini aman bagi lansia.

“…Older individuals often experience near-falls, even if they have no experience of actual falls, due to age-related decline in sensory functioning, such as sight and hearing [25]. A decrease in attention also affects their ability to respond appropriately to changes in the environment, therefore, it is difficult for older individuals to appropriately integrate internal information such as behavioral predictive factors, and external information from the environment.…”

Falls in older individuals can be caused by balance disorders, influenced by predictive factors based on self-efficacy and outcome expectation. This study investigated the relationship between predictive factors related to regional neural functional activity and postural control. We included 16 older men (average age, 76.4±5.8 years) and evaluated their balancing ability and fall-related selfefficacy using the Japanese version of Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (J-Mini-BESTest) and the Japanese version of the Falls Efficacy Scale (JFES), respectively. We performed an electroencephalogram before, during, and after postural perturbations. The cortical activity in the right Inferior Parietal Lobe (IPL) and Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) was analyzed using current density in the specific regions of interest. Foot Response Values (FRV) were used to evaluate physical responses during postural perturbations. The neural activity values in the IPL after postural perturbations indicated a significant positive correlation with JFES and J-Mini-BESTest scores when prior information was provided to participants. The neural activity values in the SMA before postural perturbations showed a significant positive correlation with J-Mini-BESTest score and a significant negative correlation with FRV. Furthermore, during postural perturbations, subjects with prior information exhibited significant positive neural correlations with neural activity between the SMA and IPL. These results suggest that neural activity in these brain regions influence balancing ability and predictive factors. Prior knowledge of a postural perturbation’s timing could be a compensatory factor promoting the activation of predictive factors.
