Impact of Physiotherapy on Old Age People in Jabalpur City

In older people the moving pattern is frequently changed to, so called, elderly gait. It is described as taking smaller steps, decreased velocity, raising the feet lower from the ground, decreased mobility in the hips and knees. Movement disturbances can coexist with many diseases such as Parkinsons Disease where gait velocity is decline (witek, Urodow, 2013, pp. 195-200). In other cases the cause are environmental factors (about 44%) or the performance of dangerous activities (only 5%) (Kamiska, 2013, pp. 21-26). It should be noted that people with impaired cognitive function have twice the risk of falls than other people of the same age without this disorder. Elderly physical therapy combines a combination of approaches including stretching, walking, massage, hydrotherapy, and electrical stimulation among others.
