Smartphones are very common devices in daily life that have a built-in tri-axial accelerometer. Similar to previously developed accelerometers, smartphones can be used assess gait patterns. However, few analyses been performed using smartphones, and their reliability validity not evaluated yet. The purpose of this study was evaluate the smartphone Thirty healthy young adults participated study. They walked 20 m at preferred speeds, trunk accelerations were measured accelerometer secured over...
Summary We report a unilateral hypoglossal nerve paralysis following the use of laryngeal mask airway in 62 year‐old women with rheumatoid arthritis undegoing shoulder joint replancement,. Cervical epidural anesthesia was vombined general anaesthesia using nitrous oxide administrered via larygeal patient right lateral decubitus postion. The next morning, noted to have palsy. compression between cuff. distended oxide, and hyoid bone, considered be cause ot paralysis.
Recently, several studies have reported age-associated increases in muscle coactivation during postural control. A rigid posture induced by strong reduces the degree of freedom to be organized control system. The purpose this study was clarify effect balance training on older adults. Forty-eight subjects were randomized into an intervention (mean age: 81.0 ± 6.9 years) and a group 81.6 6.4 years). did not receive any intervention. Postural ability (postural sway quiet standing, functional...
Abstract Background It has not been clarified whether physical frailty symptoms predict social. frailty. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect on social frailty, and determine which domains development Methods We employed a two-year prospective cohort study. A total 342 socially robust community-dwelling older adults were recruited. used modified screening index consisting four including financial difficulties, living alone, activity, contact with neighbors. Physical status...
Summary Marbling, as defined by the amount of intramuscular fat, is an economically important trait in beef cattle. Intramuscular fat deposition postulated to arise mainly from a series adipogenic events adipocyte‐lineage cells and physiological or anatomical milieux surrounding them. This study was designed investigate gene‐expression patterns associated with musculus longissimus muscle, including part milieux. Differential‐display PCR (ddPCR) used examine expression differences between...
Obstacles are a common cause of falls among older adults. Anticipatory motor planning for obstacle negotiation must be completed during the precrossing phase in order to step over safely. This cognitive load may affect anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) adults at high risk falling. study explored effect on APA gait initiation falling.Seventy-six elderly volunteers (mean age: 80.5 [7.6 years]) from community participated this study. Participants performed tasks starting position force...
This cross-sectional study aimed to demonstrate the association between physical frailty subdomains and oral frailty. involved community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥65 years). Physical was assessed with Japanese version of Cardiovascular Health Study criteria. Oral defined as limitations in at least three six domains. Logistic regression analysis used analyze risk In addition, we examined (gait speed, grip strength, exhaustion, low activity, weight loss) A total 380 participants were...
Elderly individuals who are at high risk for a fall generally exhibit increased gait variability, decline in visuomotor control of foot movement, and cognitive impairment, particularly executive functions. A new walking test, multitarget stepping task, was developed the present study to identify elderly with impaired performance on walkway requiring involvement functions find footfall target. Thirty-one high-risk (82.7 ± 6.4 years) 87 low-risk (80.7 7.9 performed task 2 days 2-week interval....
Abstract Aims Sarcopenia, the age‐related decline in skeletal muscle volume and function, is associated with negative clinical socioeconomic outcomes elderly people. Clinical biomarkers to diagnose sarcopenia that can be quantified a reliable, cost‐ effective manner, are needed. We investigated whether creatinine (Cr) /cystatin C (CysC) ratio correlated physical function Japanese community‐dwelling subjects. Methods results The present study included 213 men aged 73.2±6.2 years 464 women...
Sarcopenia is defined as a combination of low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), weak strength, and reduced physical function. Recently, many studies have reported that the creatinine/cystatin C ratio (Cr/CysC) useful for evaluating mass. We designed cross-sectional study with separate model development validation groups to develop prediction equation estimate bioimpedance analysis (BIA)-measured SMI Cr/CysC.The current was retrospective study.The group included 908 subjects (288 men 620...
Background: Sarcopenic obesity, defined as the concurrent loss of muscle mass and adipose tissue accumulation, is associated with reduced physical function poor health status in older adults. Although oral can impact overall adults, its role development sarcopenic obesity remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to examine association between incidence obesity. Methods: This longitudinal cohort study included 597 independent adults (aged ≥65 years) from Tamba-Sasayama, a rural region Japan, who...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of a trail‐walking exercise (TWE) program on rate falls in community‐dwelling older adults. DESIGN: Pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). SETTING: This was conducted Japan and involved adults as participants. PARTICIPANTS: Sixty participants into TWE group (n=30) walking (W) (n=30). INTERVENTION: Exercise class combined with multicomponent trail program, versus simple indoor program. MEASUREMENT: Measurement based difference fall rates between W groups....
Recently, isotemporal substitution has been developed to substitute activity time for an equivalent amount of another activity. This study employed this method demonstrate the effects replacing sedentary behavior (SB) with light-intensity physical (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous intensity (MVPA) on risk different severities frailty.A total 886 older adults (average age 73.6 years, female 70%) participated in cross-sectional study. Frailty status was assessed according cardiovascular health...
To develop effective nutritional interventions for preventing frailty, the specific problems associated with dietary habits of individuals based on sex differences must be identified. The purpose this study was to evaluate association between and frailty in rural Japanese community-dwelling older adults. We recruited 800 participants, aged 65 older, who underwent a comprehensive health examination November 2015 December 2017. Dietary were assessed by brief self-administered history...
