Although public transport is more readily available in urban areas, the mobility limitations and reduced agility experienced by women in their eighties limits public transport as a viable option.
Participants: Thirty-five ambulant people with extremely-severe TBI who were attending physiotherapy for mobility limitations, and a comparative sample of 25 healthy controls (HC).
In the elderly population, chronic diseases are common determinants of mobility limitations and comorbidity consistently shows a strong association with functional status.
Mobility limitations and cognitive impairments, each common with aging, reduce levels of physical and mental activity, are prognostic of future adverse health events, and are associated with an increased fall risk.
To examine physical activity participation, screen time habits, and the prevalence of overweight/obesity among children in the general population with mobility limitations and those enrolled in special education services.
To guide rehabilitation to attenuate risk for mobility limitations and falls, this study evaluated whether higher antagonistic open kinetic chain hamstring coactivation is associated with knee joint buckling (sudden loss of support) and shifting (a sensation that the knee might give way).
