falls and fall-related injuries are common in older adults, have negative effects on functional independence quality of life associated with increased morbidity, mortality health related costs. Current guidelines inconsistent, no up-to-date, globally applicable ones present.

The aim of this study was to establish 'Timed up and Go' test (TUG) normative data among community dwelling older adults stratified based on cognitive status, gender age groups.A total 2084 from wave I II were recruited through a multistage random sampling method. TUG performed using the standard protocol scores then with without mild impairment (MCI), in 5-year groups ranging ages 60's 80's.529(16%) participants identified have MCI. Past history falls medical hypertension, heart disease,...
Abstract Background Cognitive frailty, a combination of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, is associated with functional decline in older adults. However, there limited information if predicts the incidence falls, injuries, disability. In this study, we aimed to determine ability predicting injuries disability among multi-ethnic adults Malaysia at 5 years follow-up. Methods prospective cohort total 400 participants aged 60 above were successfully followed up years. Participants’...
Cognitive frailty (CF) is a major precursor to dementia, and multidomain interventions have the potential delay, prevent or reverse its early onset. However, successful translation sustainability of such in real-life settings remain uncertain. In this study, we aimed explore insights older adults with CF their caregivers regarding impact participation AGELESS intervention. This qualitative study was conducted following completion Semi-structured interviews covering domains as perceptions,...
Abstract Marker‐assisted simultaneous but stepwise backcross breeding ( MASS ‐ BB ) was utilized in the present study for pyramiding blast resistance genes, Piz5 and Pi54 , from non‐Basmati donors, C101A51 Tetep, respectively, into PRR 78, an elite Basmati restorer line of rice hybrid, Pusa RH 10. foreground selection coupled with stringent phenotypic background analysis carried out hastening recovery recurrent parent phenome RPP genome RPG two separate series to produce BC 2 F 1 plants...
Purpose: The consequences of combined undernourishment and decreased physical performance in older adults are debilitating increases cost care. To date, the information regarding association between nutritional status performance does not provide a complete picture. Most studies used limited or self-reported measures to evaluate performance. objective this study was examine correlation comprehensive among undernourished who reside residential institutions. Methods: Forty-seven (26 males, 21...
Poverty at old age is associated with poor dietary habit, nutritional status and higher rates of chronic diseases psychosocial problems. However, there limited information about this matter according to urban rural settings. The aim study was identify dietary, nutritional, physical cognitive factors socioeconomic (SES) among older adults settings in Malaysia.An analysis conducted 2237 who participated a longitudinal on aging (LRGS TUA). This involved four states Malaysia, 49.4% from areas....
Physical performance and balance declines with aging may lead to increased risk of falls. tests be useful for initial fall-risk screening test among community-dwelling older adults. Physiological profile assessment (PPA), a composite falls tool is reported have 75% accuracy screen physiological risk. PPA correlates Timed Up Go (TUG) test. However, the association between many other commonly used physical not known. The aim present study was examine measured using battery tests.One hundred...
(1) Background: Cognitive frailty (CF) is the simultaneous presence of physical and cognitive impairment with an increased risk dementia. Considering that factors CF are mostly elucidated from cross-sectional studies, we conducted a community-based longitudinal study to determine incidence predictors among Malaysian older adults.; (2) Methods: Out 490 adults participating in Towards Useful Aging (TUA) study, 282 were successfully followed-up at five-years for analysis incidence. was defined...
Virtual reality (VR) games has the potential to improve patient outcomes in stroke rehabilitation. However, there is limited information on VR as an adjunct standard physiotherapy improving upper limb function. This study involved 36 participants both experimental (n = 18) and control groups with a mean age (SD) of 57 (8.20) 63 (10.54) years, respectively. Outcome measures were Fugl-Meyer assessment for extremities (FMA-UE), Wolf motor function test (WMFT), intrinsic motivation inventory...
Purpose: Older persons have been identified as a vulnerable population with respect to the novel coronavirus outbreak, COVID-19. Aiming "flatten curve" strict Movement Control Order (MCO) was implemented in Malaysia. adults cognitive frailty are prone physical, and psychosocial decline. This study aims compare physical activity patterns, psychological wellbeing coping strategies of older "WE-RISE" trial (intervention versus control) throughout this period. Materials Methods: conducted...
The importance of long term rehabilitation for people with stroke is increasingly evident, yet it not known whether such services can be materialised in countries limited community resources. In this study, we explored the perception professionals and towards potential approaches to enable provision these services. Views from providers users are important ensuring whatever strategies developed rehabilitations feasible acceptable. Focus group discussions were conducted involving 15 eight...
Evidence indicates that the continuation of therapy among community-dwelling stroke survivors improves physical function. Community rehabilitation programmes often face limitations in terms resources. It is imperative to include new motivational interventions encourage some level non-clinician management. The aim this study was determine whether there were any changes function and activities daily living when substituting a portion standard physiotherapy time with virtual reality games...
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the concurrent validity and reliability telerehabilitation (TR)-based evaluation cervical spine among adults with non-specific neck pain (NS-NP). Methods A total 11 participants NS-NP were recruited. Pain intensity, active range motion (AROM), posture, deep flexor (DNF) endurance, combined movements disability measured using face-to-face TR methods, a one-hour break in between. TelePTsys, an image-based system, used for assessment. Results...
