Many diseases of elderly individuals, such as Parkinson disease, spastic paraparesis, cerebrovascular accidents or neuropathies, further impair the gait. Therefore, after the age of 65, all falls must be considered symptomatic (Rev Méd Chile 2002; 130: 332-7)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.130 n.3 20022002-03-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872002000300014es10.4067/S0034-98872002000300014 |
