Association between falls and cardiovascular diseases in the geriatric population.

Objective: To determine the association of cardiovascular diseases with falls in the geriatric population.

Methods: Original, Transversal and analytical study. Elderly patients who attend the external consultation of the Geriatrics service, older than 65 years, with falls history, perform comprehensive geriatric assessment to indentify causes of falls in the period from March 2018 to June 2019.

[Correlation between gait speed and muscular strength with balance for reducing falls among elderly].

Background: Evidence of the benefit on propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for reducing falls in older people does not exist.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of propioceptive facilitation over falls and biomechanical variables, in comparison to standard treatment and control groups.

Materials And Methods: Series cases comparative for the 24 participants were recruited and randomnly assigned to 3 groups.
