Which Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) instruments are currently used in Germany: a survey Open
Background The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) records geriatric syndromes in a standardized manner, allowing individualized treatment tailored to the patient’s needs and resources. Its use has shown a beneficial effect on the fun…
View article: Reduced health-related quality of life, fatigue, anxiety and depression affect COVID-19 patients in the long-term after chronic critical illness
Reduced health-related quality of life, fatigue, anxiety and depression affect COVID-19 patients in the long-term after chronic critical illness Open
The term chronic critical illness describes patients suffering from persistent organ dysfunction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. In severe cases, COVID-19 led to chronic critical illness. As this population was hardly investigated, w…
View article: Postural instability in the anterior-posterior plane is associated with impaired postural verticality perception and fall risk in Parkinsonian syndromes
Postural instability in the anterior-posterior plane is associated with impaired postural verticality perception and fall risk in Parkinsonian syndromes Open
Retropulsion is a postural behavior which seems frequent in Parkinsonian syndromes, hampering balance and functional tasks, as well as entailing an increase in the risk of falls. This study aimed to investigate different characteristics of…
View article: Physiology of walking and postural control
Physiology of walking and postural control Open
Standing upright and walking are natural but complex sensorimotor activities that are performed without much cognitive load. In gait disorders, the complexity of postural control becomes apparent. This article shows which aspects are impor…
