Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience, Department of Experimental Psychology, Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Virtual reality environments presented on tablets and smartphones offer a novel way of measuring navigation skill and predicting real-world navigation problems. The extent to which such virtual tests are effective at predicting navigation in older populations remains unclear. We compared the performance of 20 older participants (54-74 years old) in wayfinding tasks in a real-world environment in London, UK, and in similar tasks designed in a mobile app-based test of navigation (Sea Hero Quest).

Objectives: To determine the safety and efficacy of a video-supported Cawthorne-Cooksey exercise program (CCEP) in improving balance, dizziness and decreasing fear of falling in older adults with balance deficits and dizziness.
Methods: Thirty-two older adults were divided into two groups (intervention and control). The intervention group followed a video-supported CCEP group, while the control group received written instructions to maintain their usual activity and counselling on fall prevention.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a widespread condition that increasingly affects the older adults, highlighting the need for a detailed examination of its global impact. Our research aimed to evaluate the LBP's burden and trends in individuals over 55 years of age across 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.
Methods: We analyzed the data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021, focusing on LBP prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs), along with associated risk factors.
Real-world satisfaction and experience with injection and autoinjector device for ofatumumab indicated for multiple sclerosis.

Real World Solutions, IQVIA, 2400 Ellis Road, Durham, NC, 27703, USA.
Background: To evaluate the overall satisfaction, device usability, and injection experience of MS patients self-administering ofatumumab using the Sensoready autoinjector device in the United States (US).
Methods: This US-based, cross-sectional survey study included patients with MS (≥ 18 years) who self-administered ofatumumab using the Sensoready device within the previous 12 months of the survey. Eligible patients were administered a 30-item de novo questionnaire that focused on overall device satisfaction, device usability, convenience/flexibility for travel with the device, user confidence, injection experience, and time to administer the injection.
