Effects of Physical Rehabilitation on Motor Function Improvement in Elderly Tunisian Subjects with Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract

We focused mainly on effects on motor function mainly stride length, walking speed and postural stability. Twenty-one patients carefully selected were separated into two groups. The first group of nine patients served as control. However, the second group is composed of eleven patients was submitted for six months at three sessions of 60 minutes per week in a physical training program. Results showed that exercise improves significantly in patients with motor functions namely stride length, walking speed and postural stability. We conclude that physical training could be an interesting approach for the control of Alzheimer’s disease in Tunisian patients aged males.
