Purpose: Kinematic and kinetic assessments of Sit-to-Stand (STS) usually done in laboratory settings involve strong technical expertise and expensive equipment. As an alternative, embedded inertial motion sensors can be used to quantify key parameters of selected everyday life movements such as STS. Sensors can be integrated in different...

© 2024 Elsevier Masson SASThe maintenance and optimization of functional capacities before, during, and after treatment are major challenges for frailty persons as cancer s patients. It is now known that physical activity in prehabilitation plays a crucial role in limiting, among other things, post-operative complications. The benefits have...

Falls and frailty status are often associated with a decline in physical capacity and multifactorial assessment is highly recommended. Based on the functional and biomechanical parameters measured during clinical tests with an accelerometer integrated into smart eyeglasses, the purpose was to characterize a population of older adults through an...

Background As people age, their physical capacities (eg, walking and balance) decline and the risk of falling rises. Yet, classic fall detection devices are poorly accepted by older adults. Because they often wear eyeglasses as they go about their daily activities, daily monitoring to detect and prevent falls with smart eyeglasses might be more...

Although the evidence linking aging stereotypes with physical health and functioning appears robust, little is known about how aging stereotypes affect older adults' physical capacities. Thus, this study examined whether aging stereotypes in the physical domain are associated with walking speed, muscular strength, and balance through subjective...

Inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems are offering promising alternatives to optoelectronic systems for measuring human movement. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of a new inertial measurement system, iSen STT-IWS sensors, with reference to the optoelectronic motion capture system OptiTrack. 22 young participants...

Background: Dual-task (DT) walking is of great interest in clinical evaluation to evaluate the risk of falling or cognitive declines in older adults. However, it appears necessary to investigate deeply the confounding factors to better understand their impact on dual-task performance. Objective: To evaluate the effect of age, sex, falls and...

Abstract Background Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a prevalent neurological disorder, but its diagnosis remains challenging. Dual-task (DT) walking performance is a reliable indicator of iNPH but less is known about the role of cognitive reserve (CR) in predicting DT walking performance. Aims The objective of this study was...

PurposeIsokinetic knee extensor strength is poorly evaluated in geriatric day hospitals (GDHs), despite its potential functional significance compared to grip strength. This study aimed to investigate age-related effects on absolute and relative isokinetic knee extensor peak torque (KEPT) data in community-dwelling older GDH patients.MethodsA...
