TL;DR: Among community-living older adults, the risk of future falls was predicted by performance on EF and attention tests conducted 5 years earlier, indicating that screening EF will likely enhance fall risk assessment, and that treatment of EF may reduce fall risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gait in individuals with chronic hemiparesis: one-year follow-up of the effects of a neuroprosthesis that ameliorates foot drop.
TL;DR: The neuroprosthesis appears to improve gait performance, and gains were further enhanced over time and carried over to gait even without FES, suggesting orthotic and therapeutic effects on footdrop after prolonged use of the device.
