Research for viva 2 Flashcards
Diabetes
Diabetes Care, November 2016
“diabetes mellulitis 4x more likely to develop critical limb ischemia”
Disease related muscle loss
2014
“studies have suggested that impaired muscle function potentially medicates the association of diabetes with impaired gait and low walking speed in older adults (age 65 and older)”
Core exercises
The Importance of trunk muscle strength for balance, functional performance in fall prevention in seniors. 2013, Granacher
“core strength can be used as an alternative to balance or strength training for older adults.”
Intensity and effects of strength training in the elderly
Dtsch Artebl 2011
searched for articles that appeared in the past 5 years about the effects ad dose
progressive strength training is efficient in the elderly even with high intensities to reduce sarcopenia and to retain motor function
Sit to stand evidence
Sit to stand as home exercise for mobility limited adults over 80. September 2007, Juliet Rose, Denise Taylor
Repeated sit to stands using the grandstand system improved berg balance scale
better than progressive resistance training
Otago exercise programme
Thomas S, Mackintosh, Nov 2010
Otago exercise programme significantly reduced the risk of death and falling in older community dwelling adults
older adults over 65
programme carried out over 3 times
Balance and strength training
functional based exercise should be a focus for interventions to protect older high risk people from falling and to improve and maintaining functional capacity
L. Clemson 2012
WHO guidelines
at least 150 min of moderate- intensity aerobic activity for older adults per week
if older adults are physically unable due to health they should do as much as able
Physical activity is medicine
Physical activity is medicine for older adults Denise Taylor
2013, Denise Taylor
mean age of 78 in a sample, more than 2hrs a week reduced mortality
both muscle strength and aerobic fitness have been strongly linked to functional independence
