1- 3D Movement analysis for the determination of mobility decline in the elderly.
Project Leader: Vera Moniz-Pereira
Project purposes:
- To determine muscle coordination changes associated with different mobility levels in a sample of community-dwelling older adults.
- To develop an index able to distinguish different mobility levels in a sample of community-dwelling older adults.
2- Field measures for the determination of mobility decline in the elderly
Project Leader: Filomena Carnide
Project Purposes:
- To develop a screening tool able to detect older adults at risk of losing mobility.
- To develop an instrument able to detect mobility losses over time
