“… 113 The growing number of smartphone devices in developing countries 114 can be used as a delivery tool while using a simple metronome app, such as WalkMate 115 or ListenMee, 116 which with proper medical guidance might allow curbing of motor deficits associated with aging. 117 We also suggest the use of rhythmic auditory cueing as an adjunct to other rehabilitation strategies, eg, assistive devices, 16 , 124 , 125 swimming, or other aquatic exercise regimes, 118 as it might enhance stability-associated quality of life 119 , 120 and rehabilitation progress by focusing on psychophysiological components.…”

Auditory entrainment can influence gait performance in movement disorders. The entrainment can incite neurophysiological and musculoskeletal changes to enhance motor execution. However, a consensus as to its effects based on gait in people with cerebral palsy is still warranted. A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out to analyze the effects of rhythmic auditory cueing on spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters of gait in people with cerebral palsy. Systematic identification of published literature was performed adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine guidelines, from inception until July 2017, on online databases: Web of Science, PEDro, EBSCO, Medline, Cochrane, Embase and ProQuest. Kinematic and spatiotemporal gait parameters were evaluated in a meta-analysis across studies. Of 547 records, nine studies involving 227 participants (108 children/119 adults) met our inclusion criteria. The qualitative review suggested beneficial effects of rhythmic auditory cueing on gait performance among all included studies. The meta-analysis revealed beneficial effects of rhythmic auditory cueing on gait dynamic index (Hedge’s g=0.9), gait velocity (1.1), cadence (0.3), and stride length (0.5). This review for the first time suggests a converging evidence toward application of rhythmic auditory cueing to enhance gait performance and stability in people with cerebral palsy. This article details underlying neurophysiological mechanisms and use of cueing as an efficient home-based intervention. It bridges gaps in the literature, and suggests translational approaches on how rhythmic auditory cueing can be incorporated in rehabilitation approaches to enhance gait performance in people with cerebral palsy.

“…← Click for updates doi: 10.7243/2056-9157- Other previous studies have shown that the aging process is often accompanied by diminished sleep quality and irregular sleep patterns [3][4][5], and that as age increases, physical HRQOL declines [6][7][8]. Furthermore, sleep problems were significantly correlated with chronic diseases, such as depression [5,9], heart diseases [5,9,10], arthritis [5,9,10], and lung diseases [9,10].…”

Background: In contemporary Japan, the nuclear family continues to be the dominant family model which started during the high economic growth era (1955~1973). This situation diminished the opportunities for children to experience and know the life style of elderly persons. Sharing experiences and knowledge of older persons can provide helpful hints about how to live healthier lives. This study described the distinctive characteristics of an elderly person who is living a fulfilling life despite chronic illness. Methods: In August 2017, nine elderly community-dwelling elderly who met the inclusion criteria of being chronically ill and leading positive and self-fulfilling lives were selected. They showed good sleep quality and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores, and managed to lead positive and self-fulfilling lives. This study was about one of the nine elderly persons whose narrative distinctly described the evolution of life events and experiences of personal living. Analysis followed the case description method. Results: After a major health crisis, the selected participant realized an appreciation of his own mortality, providing the opportunity to re-examinine his life habits and discover new pleasures through interactions with friends. Despite the changes from a major health crisis, he maintained a positive outlook on life and strove to be forward-looking, inspired by the parting words of his older brother who died in World War II. It appeared that chronic illness at a later stage in life leads persons to reflect on their past, revisit their philosophy of life and the ways they lived their lives. Conclusions: In order to lead self-fulfilling lives even while disease-stricken, older persons need a setting that allows them to re-tell their life stories often through reminiscence therapy. By listening to these stories, the children and their guardians can have the opportunity to appreciate and reexamine their own contemporary lifestyles and consider their future courses in life. This typical case exemplified having a chronic illness and living life positively.

“…As the population grows older, it tends to suffer from various diseases; ranging from non-communicable diseases (12,13) to cognitive diseases (13)(14)(15) to various bodily functions disabilities such as vision or hearing loss, joints pain and so on (16,17). Also, older adults suffer from functional movements (18).…”

Background: Despite declining overall growth rate of the population across the world, the number of older adults is rising. To understand the needs and problems faced by older adults, it is imperative to understand the demographic and socio-economic conditions of the individuals. On these lines, physical immobility among older adults is attributed to various risk factors. The living arrangement is found to be one of the critical risk factors along with economic dependency in explaining physical immobility among older adults in India. Therefore, this study is an attempt to explore the role of socio-economic inequality in physical immobility among older adults in India. Methods: This study utilized 60th and 75th rounds of data from the National Sample Survey conducted in 2004-05 and 2017-18, with a sample size of 34,831 and 42,762 older adults aged 60 and above, respectively. Further, the study decomposes the concentration index using regression-based decomposition technique to understand the relative contribution of various socio-economic factors to the physical immobility of older adults.Results: Result found a decline of 0.6 points in the prevalence of physical immobility from 2004-05 to 2017-18. The sharpest increase was observed in Puducherry (9.9%) followed by Chandigarh (7.6%), and decline was witnessed in Nagaland (9.2%) followed by Lakshadweep (6.4%) and Delhi (5.3%). Physical immobility was more concentrated among well-off older adults in 2017-18 as compared to in 2004-05. Living alone, chronic diseases, and rich wealth status contributed significantly to explaining the observed socio-economic inequality in physical immobility.Conclusions: Based on the observations made on the socio-economic inequality in physical immobility among older adults in India, some health interventions are required to cater to the needs of older adults.
