Conditions

Summary

Falls in the elderly are one of the main sources of disability and hospitalization, with a significant impact on quality of life and social and healthcare costs. Falls represent a significant health concern for people over 60 years old. Numerous studies have shown that falls cause serious health consequences. Around 30% of people over the age of 60 experience a fall during the year. According to the impact falls have, the investigators decided to analyze the effectiveness of training on a Walker View sensorized treadmill, with the possibility of exercises for coordination and balance, compared to training with a conventional group therapy, in order to understand the best training to reduce the risk of falling and observe the possible improvements in daily life activities. So the study aims to identify the most effective rehabilitation method between a treatment with a sensorized treadmill (Walker View) and a conventional group therapy in balance disorders. The study also aims to identify predictive indices, with the use of Artificial Intelligence, that can contribute to the prevention and diagnosis of balance disorders in a short time and prevent falls in the elderly.

Interventions

OTHERTreadmill

The Walker View system is a treadmill equipped with a loaded cell sensor belt and a 3D camera that allows you to detect every single angular movement of the subject. Furthermore, thanks to the two optics, a classic one for 2D shooting in high resolution, and a revolutionary one for infrared rays, it is possible to reconstruct the position of the subject in space in three-dimensional mode and in real time. The reflected image reconstructed by the system helps to improve movement through the \"continuous feedback system\" method.

OTHERconventional therapy

Conventional therapy intervention will follow the usual treatment according to current clinical practice. This treatment will be delivered to patients in a group session in order the balance disorders.
