Objective: The present study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a gait re-education program using a sequential square mat (Tapiz Fisior®, in advance SSM Fisior®) in aspects related to mobility, balance, muscle strength, and gait of elderly people.
Methods: The intervention lasted eight weeks through progressive resistance training designed specifically for older people, with an approximate duration of 30-40 min, and was carried out three times a week on non-consecutive days using the SSM Fisior®.
Result: The intervention improved gait, balance, physical performance, lower limb strength, and walking speed.
Article Synopsis
- Wnt signaling is linked to synaptic plasticity, but the exact mechanisms and components involved are not fully understood.
- Researchers found that exposure to the Wnt-5a ligand changes the threshold for inducing synaptic plasticity, promoting long-term potentiation (LTP) while inhibiting long-term depression (LTD) in hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses.
- The study highlights that Wnt-5a signaling enhances synaptic efficacy by increasing excitatory postsynaptic potentials and involves complex interactions with JNK and NMDAR, which can be blocked by the antagonist sFRP-2.
We aimed to assess motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCRS) as a mortality predictor in older male adults with cancer at Centro Médico Naval (CEMENA) in Peru from 2012 to 2015. We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort within CEMENA's Geriatrics Service. We considered all-cause mortality as the primary outcome.

- * Participants engaged in resistance training sessions three times a week, and their physical performance was compared between an intervention group and a control group.
- * Results showed significant improvements in various physical performance metrics, indicating that the Fisior® Mat program can effectively enhance physical abilities in older adults with PD when combined with standard physiotherapy.
