tailieunhanh - Environmental conditions, health and satisfaction among the elderly: Some empirical results

Testing was performed in the gait laboratory of the City Hospital Waid in Zurich, Switzerland. To measure steady state walking, the central m active sensor area of the GAITRite® system was used as the test distance. During the measurements, the subjects walked on the walkway while wearing their own comfortable clothing and low-heeled habitual shoes. Since mean values of eight strides have been shown to be appropriately representing gait characteristics and can be considered as representative of normal gait [33] we ensured the capturing of at least 25 steps per test condition. Each subject was instructed to walk the walkway three times, in randomised order, at I) self-selected comfortable speed, II) a. | ISSN 0214 - 9915 CODEN PSOTEG Copyright 2001 Psicothema Psicothema 2001. Vol. 13 n 1 pp. 40-49 Environmental conditions health and satisfaction among the elderly Some empirical results Rocío Fernandez-Ballesteros Autonoma University of Madrid Age has been used as the major determinant in the process of aging being the causal or explanatory variable of health behavior and competence.

En este artículo se presentan resultados empíricos procedentes de distintos estudios que muestran la importancia de los factores ambientales tales como las ayudas socio-recreativas la accesibilidad a la comunidad las expectativas de funcionamiento la .
