Eliminating risk factors for falls leads to reduction of the incidence frailty. The recommended training program used only body weight resistance and no equipment prepare quick movements in daily living community-dwelling older adults is unknown. Thus, we compared effects weight-bearing with (WEM) without explosive motions (WOEM). Sixty were randomly assigned WEM WOEM groups. group performed concentric phase during repetitions quickly it at traditional velocity. designated programs consisted...
Background Although potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) have been linked to poor health outcomes, country-specific PIM criteria not compared.
