Age Self Care-Resilience, a medical group visit program targeting pre-frailty: A mixed methods pilot clinical trial.

Background: Pre-frailty is highly prevalent and multimodal lifestyle interventions are effective for preventing transition to frailty. However, little is known about the potential for medical group visits (MGV) to prevent frailty progression.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the MGV Age Self Care-Resilience.

Remote Monitoring of Tai Chi Balance Training Interventions in Older Adults Using Wearable Sensors and Machine Learning.

Tai Chi, an Asian martial art, is renowned for its health benefits, particularly in promoting healthy aging among older adults, improving balance, and reducing fall risk. However, methodological challenges hinder the objective measurement of adherence to and proficiency in performing a training protocol, critical for health outcomes. This study introduces a framework using wearable sensors and machine learning to monitor Tai Chi training adherence and proficiency.

Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation and Fall Risk in Older Adults With Spinal Pain: Observational Findings From a Matched Retrospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Limited research suggests that spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) might positively influence balance, yet its association with falls remains underexplored. We hypothesized that older adults receiving chiropractic SMT for spinal pain would have a reduced fall risk during 13 months of follow-up compared to matched controls.

Methods: We searched >116 million patient records from TriNetX (2013-2023; Cambridge, MA, US) to identify adults aged ≥65 years with spinal pain.

Tai Chi for balance and postural control in people with peripheral neuropathy: A scoping review.

Background: Peripheral neuropathy can affect balance and increase fall risk. Tai Chi is known to activate neuromuscular systems and may help improve balance and postural control. We conducted a scoping review of clinical studies that evaluated the impact of Tai Chi on balance and related neurobiological outcomes among individuals with peripheral neuropathy.
