Background: Fall prevention programmes are essential interventions in societies with aging populations. This study assessed the fall rate and other health outcomes, as well as the cost-effectiveness of a home-based fall prevention programme for community-dwelling older people. In a single home visit, trained physical or occupational therapists performed fall risk assessments, eliminated environmental risk factors, and provided tailored exercises.

Background: Home-based rehabilitation involves professional rehabilitation care and guidance offered by physical, occupational, and speech therapists to patients in their homes to help them recuperate in a familiar living environment. The effects on the patient's motor function and activities of daily living (ADLs), and caregiver burden for community-dwelling patients are well-documented; however, little is known about the immediate benefits in patients discharged from the hospital. Therefore, we examined the effects of continuous home-based rehabilitation immediately after discharge to patients who received intensive rehabilitation during hospitalization.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Biorobotics and Biomechanics Lab, University of Maine, 168 College Ave, Orono, ME, 04469, USA.
Purpose: Current gait rehabilitation protocols for older adults typically attempt to effect changes in leg movements, while the role of arm movements is often ignored despite evidence of the neurological coupling of the upper and lower extremities. In the present work, we examine the effectiveness of a novel wearable haptic cueing system that targets arm swing to improve various gait parameters in older adults.
Methods: Twenty participants ( years) were recruited to analyze their gait during normal and fast walking without haptic cueing.
Potential Benefits from Physical Exercise in Advanced Cancer Patients Undergoing Systemic Therapy? A Narrative Review of the Randomized Clinical Trials.

Freelance Surgeon Oncologist, Residenza Querce, Milanodue, 20054 Segrate, Italy.
Design: The purpose of this review is the analysis of the literature concerning the effects of physical exercise in cancer patients undergoing medical oncologic treatment. Papers were retrieved from the scrutiny of 15 reviews/meta-analyses published in the last 2 years, which, however, pooled different populations of patients (surgical and medical patients, receiving or not an oncologic therapy, harboring a cancer, or being survivors).
Results: We reviewed the data of 35 RCTs on the use of physical exercise in cancer patients, distinguishing well-nourished from malnourished patients.
Evaluation of a Telemonitoring System Using Electronic National Early Warning Scores for Patients Receiving Medical Home Care: Pilot Implementation Study.

Background: Telehealth programs and wearable sensors that enable patients to monitor their vital signs have expanded due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The electronic National Early Warning Score (e-NEWS) system helps identify and respond to acute illness.
Objective: This study aimed to implement and evaluate a comprehensive telehealth system to monitor vital signs using e-NEWS for patients receiving integrated home-based medical care (iHBMC).
