Multicomponent interventions and technologies to reduce the burden of frailty, functional, and cognitive decline
This initiative supports the transition toward more integrated and equitable care models for older adults. Through the implementation of scalable, person-centered interventions within routine services, the project offers policy-relevant strategies to address frailty and functional decline-contributing to the redesign of aging care in Italy and providing insights applicable across diverse health systems facing the challenges of population aging co…
Evaluation of the Italian version of the elderly mobility scale in older hospitalized patients
Introduction Reliable and valid assessment tools are needed to evaluate and predict physical function in older hospitalized patients. The aim of this study is to develop the Italian version of the Elderly Mobility Scale (I-EMS) and to evaluate its validity and inter-rater reliability for use with geriatric inpatients. Methods The study consists of two phases: (i) translation, where EMS version 2 was translated into Italian by two teams, each comp…
Cognitive Digital Intervention for Older Patients with Parkinson’s Disease during Covid-19
Mild cognitive impairment is frequent among people with Parkinson's disease. Cognitive training seems effective for cognitive status and for mitigating anxiety and depression. With the COVID-19 outbreak, such therapeutic interventions were delivered online. This longitudinal mixed-method study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of an online cognitive treatment, carried out during COVID times and based on Parkinson's-Adapted Cognitive Stimu…
The Effect of Non-Immersive Virtual Reality Exergames versus Traditional Physiotherapy in Parkinson’s Disease Older Patients
(1) Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most frequent causes of disability among older people. Recently, virtual reality and exergaming have been emerged as promising tools for gait and balance rehabilitation in PD patients. Our purpose is to evaluate an innovative treatment for older patients with PD, based on non-immersive virtual reality exergames, improving gait and balance and reducing falling risk. (2) Methods: Thirty PD pati…
Acceptability and Preliminary Results of Technology-Assisted Balance Training in Parkinson’s Disease
(1) Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the most common causes of disability among older individuals. The advanced stages of PD are usually characterized by postural instability and, as a consequence, falls. Those are among the main factors that determine the quality of life, as well as the morbidity and mortality of a person with PD. In the field of PD rehabilitation, robotics is also rapidly gaining ground. As a primary aim, we evalu…
Social Robotics and Dementia
The aim of this paper is to describe the results collected with the Italian study conducted within eWare project, aimed at supporting the autonomy and health of the older people affected by dementia and their informal caregivers, through the use of an innovative system based on a social robot and a sensorized environmental infrastructure. Nine dyads of older participants with their caregivers were enrolled in testing the system for 6 months. The …
Dancing With Parkinson's Disease
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most frequent causes of disability among older people, characterized by motor disorders, rigidity, and balance problems. Recently, dance has started to be considered an effective exercise for people with PD. In particular, Irish dancing, along with tango and different forms of modern dance, may be a valid strategy to motivate people with PD to perform physical activity. The present protocol aim…
