Gait Disorders Among Elderly Patients

Is There Relationship between Brain Atrophy and Higher Incidence of Hip Fracture in Old Age? -A Preliminary Study-

“…Despite the magnitude of the problem and the recent advances in brain imaging, few studies have addressed the potential contribution of CT or MRI identifying brain pathology that may be responsible for gait and balance impairment of the elderly people. A tendency for the group of gait-impaired elderly to have larger ventricles than the control group was found in three studies 21-23…”

The Relationship of Knee and Ankle Weakness to Falls in Nursing Home Residents: An Isokinetic Study

“…In addition to the segmental mechanisms controlling balance, suprasegmental organization and control of reflex balance mechanisms occurs within the central nervous system. The ability to initiate and coordinate rapid effective movements is integrated in the frontal cortex, 34 basal ganglia, 44 and cerebellum 36 . Dysfunction at these sites, or their interconnections, compromises both gait and balance, and may also be related to the motor deficits 37 we have demonstrated with isokinetic testing.…”

Gait Disorders in Older Adults

“…The pattern of diagnoses in the primary care series 122 is clearly different from that of the two neurological referral series 120,121 (see Table 1). Arthritis and orthostatic hypotension are the most common primary diagnoses, with multiple additional diagnoses such as postorthopedic surgery 122 .…”
