- What is the purpose of this research?
This research aims at determining the extent to which gait and balance in elderly patients with Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer Diseases impact the risk of fall irrespective of ageing.
- What is the research question (or questions)? This may be implicit or explicit.
The research question in this study has not been stated explicitly. Nevertheless, based on the aim of the research, it can be argued that the research question for this study is; How do Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer Diseases influence gait and dynamic balance in elderly patients?
- Give a complete description of the research design of this study.
This study was correlation as it sought to explore the links between Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer Diseases and fall among elderly patients. In order to achieve the aim of the study, participants were matched into three groups, the gait as well balance of the participants was evaluated for elderly patients with and without dementia. Gait and balance assessments were conducted in 24 participants, who had been divided into groups of 8……..Please click the Paypal icon below to purchase full solution for only $10
