Mobility Assessment and Rehabilitation in a Case of an Old Person Suffering Triple Humeral Fracture

Abstract:

As the concern for the welfare of elderly people is rather poor in our country, unlike the other countries in the EU, it is a legitimate priority to look for improvements of the situation. Therefore the paper aims at presenting a non-invasive and creative procedure that allows the assessment and helps the rehabilitation of elderly people who suffer various physical traumas and are also affected by other diseases like high blood pressure, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, etc. A case study is developed as a model for other future assessments and procedures in order to open new opportunities for the improvement of elderly people life quality.
