  • Locomotive Syndrome (LS) is a condition that affects the mobility of older adults and is linked to various components of balance control.
  • A study involving 122 elderly participants assessed their balance using the Brief-BESTest and found significant relationships between LS and three balance components: Biomechanical Constraints, Stability Limits, and Anticipatory Postural Adjustments.
  • The results imply that improving these specific balance areas through targeted interventions may help reduce the risk of LS and enhance the quality of life for older adults.

Vibrational-electronic (vibronic) coupling plays a critical role in excitation energy transfer in molecular aggregates and pigment-protein complexes (PPCs). But the interplay between excitonic delocalization and vibronic interactions is complex, often leaving even qualitative questions as to what conceptual framework (e.g.
