To study the effects of physical stimulation based on walking exercises, equilibrium and endurance cognitive function efficiency in patients with dementia.Randomized controlled trial including 31 subjects suffering from dementia (age: 81.8 +/- 5.3 years). The intervention group (n = 16) benefited a 15-week activity programme involving three 1-hour sessions per week. control 15) did not practice any activities. Before after rehabilitation, all were evaluated Rapid Evaluation Cognitive...
Girold, S, Jalab, C, Bernard, O, Carette, P, Kemoun, G, and Dugué, B. Dry-land strength training vs. electrical stimulation in sprint swimming performance. J Strength Cond Res 26(2): 497–505, 2012—This study was undertaken to compare the effects of dry-land an program on swimmers. Twenty-four national-level swimmers were randomly assigned 3 groups: (S), (ES), control (C) group. The lasted 4 weeks. subjects evaluated before training, at end program, weeks later. outcome values ascertained...
The aim of this study was to investigate the kinematic and kinetic characteristics walking in healthy non-faller elderly order develop predictive parameters for falls. A 1-year prospective trial completed on a circuit with two integrated force platforms an optoelectronic system three-dimensional movement analysis. Gait investigated 54 volunteers who were people over 60 had not fallen previous year. subjects contacted 2-monthly period 1 results showed that 16 tested fallen. There no...
The psychological burden suffered by elderly subjects after a fall adds to rehabilitation difficulties. We hypothesised that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may be at the root of these post-fall problems. immediate state was examined 2 months in order determine prevalence anxiety and PTSD their possible correlates.
Executive function impairment (in particular, mental flexibility) in the elderly, and patients with mild cognitive (MCI), is strongly correlated difficulties performing complex walking tasks. The aim of this study was to determine if adaptation a neuropsychological test (the Trail-Making Test), evaluate executive functions during walking, can be an early detection tool for impairment.Fifty subjects (15 young, 20 older, presumably healthy, 15 MCI) were first evaluated (Mini-Mental State...
Background: Several studies have reported the potential value of dual-task concept during locomotion in clinical evaluation because cognitive decline is strongly associated with gait abnormalities. However, current tests appear to be insufficient for early diagnosis impairment. Methods: Forty-nine subjects (young, old, or without mild impairment) underwent (Mini-Mental State Examination, Frontal Assessment Battery, five-word test, Stroop, clock-drawing) and single-task locomotor on an...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have disturbances in their spatial navigation abilities and exhibit early deficits visuospatial short-term memory. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether a quantitative (span score) qualitative (evaluating strategies used) analysis Corsi test (usual condition complex task) would be useful reveal decline. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We evaluated performance 15...
A fall in elderly subjects can lead to serious psychological consequences. These symptoms develop into Fear of Falling with behavioural disorders comparable PTSD that may severely limit autonomy. Virtual reality training (VRT) could be seen as a worthwhile therapeutic approach for this syndrome since it has been shown useful tool motor rehabilitation or combat-related PTSD. We thus developed scenario VRT psychomotor therapists.To test the feasibility and acceptability when used by adults...
