Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system.
Parkinsonism
Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability.
Spinal stenosis
Spinal stenosis is an abnormal narrowing (stenosis) of the spinal canal that may occur in any of the regions of the spine.
Mini–Mental State Examination
The Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Folstein test is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively in clinical and research settings to measure cognitive impairment.
Presbycusis
Presbycusis (also spelled presbyacusis, from Greek presbys “old” + akousis “hearing”), or age-related hearing loss, is the cumulative effect of aging on hearing.
Geriatric trauma
Geriatric trauma refers to a traumatic injury that occurs to an elderly person.
Normal pressure hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), also termed symptomatic hydrocephalus, is a type of brain malfunction caused by expansion of the lateral cerebral ventricles and distortion of the fibers in the corona radiata.
Pseudohypoxia
Pseudohypoxia refers to increased cytosolic ratio of free NADH to NAD in cells.
Home care
Home care, (also referred to as domiciliary care, social care, or in-home care), is supportive care provided in the home.
Elderly care
Elderly care, or simply eldercare (also known in parts of the English speaking world as aged care), is the fulfillment of the special needs and requirements that are unique to senior citizens.
Vitreomacular adhesion
Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) is a human medical condition where the vitreous gel (or simply vitreous) of the human eye adheres to the retina in an abnormally strong manner.
Osteolysis
Osteolysis is an active resorption of bone matrix by osteoclasts and can be interpreted as the reverse of ossification.
Falls in older adults
Falls in older adults are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and are an important class of preventable injuries.
Fall prevention
Fall prevention is a variety of actions to help reduce the number of accidental falls suffered by older people.
Geriatric psychiatry
Geriatric psychiatry, also known as geropsychiatry, psychogeriatrics or psychiatry of old age, is a subspecialty of psychiatry dealing with the study, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders in humans with old age.
Lumbar spinal stenosis
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves at the level of the lumbar vertebra.
