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
- * 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.
