The Precaise Project - an Innovative Exercise Training for Older People: Preact to Lower the Risk of Falling by Customized Rehabilitation View Digital Media
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session Diletta Cicconi, Cristina Gagliardi
We present a rehabilitation tool based on the development of personalised training aimed at improving muscle strength and balance that can be used remotely via a digital platform (DigiRehab App). This new system, called DigiPrehab, makes it possible to identify at an early stage the elderly who present risk factors for falling and to propose an individualised physical training plan to intervene on the functional deficits identified. This system enables an overall improvement in physical condition, a better quality of life and a decrease in the risk of falling, as well as a reduced need for home care.
