Falls are common in older adults, increasing risks of hospitalization and institutionalization. This paper explores gait abnormalities, like serial gait, and detection methods, highlighting the link between cognitive and gait disorders in the elderly.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neurology
  • Biomechanics

Context:

  • Falls represent a significant health concern in the elderly population.
  • Increased morbidity and mortality are associated with falls in older adults.
  • Elderly individuals prone to falling face higher risks of repeated hospitalization and institutionalization.

Purpose:

  • To review various gait abnormalities prevalent in the elderly.
  • To specifically address serial gait disorders.
  • To discuss methods for detecting gait abnormalities in older adults.

Summary:

  • Recent studies suggest a connection between cognitive impairments and gait disorders.
  • Gait abnormalities are frequently observed in the elderly population.
  • This paper focuses on identifying and understanding specific gait issues, such as serial gait.
