Functional balance & gait balance in normal geriatric population: By gait training with multiple task (original) (raw)

Indian Journal of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy—An International Journal, 2018

Abstract

The main impact of pathologies in geriatric population is falling due to abnormal gait deviations. Thus, fear of falling reduces their mobility that prevents independent living in geriatrics. Mobility depends on person's ability and perception to complete a task. Multiple task training is an interaction of motor and somatosensory inputs. Improvement of gait in geriatrics depends upon the type of task and environment, potentially due to cognitive dysfunction and reduced cognitive performance.
