Line of research:

Aging and the locomotor apparatus

Summary:

We have in our midst a population that is aging rapidly, especially the group of the elderly, with a large number of associated diseases, complaints of the locomotor system being the most important, with a significant reduction in physical capacity, a drop in conditions required to maintain self-sufficiency and progressively increasing costs.

A differentiated and structured approach to the locomotor apparatus limitations of this population group is imposed not only as a healthcare, citizenship and humanitarian necessity, but also as a requirement for the support and survival of the public health system itself.

Aging of the locomotor apparatus is studied in our group in two lines of research:

  1. Study of locomotor aging and the development of frailty and its complications with special emphasis on frailty fractures, their mechanism, diagnosis and approach, with a special focus on shared interprofessional attention
  2. Study of physical activity and healthy aging. Study of the risks and benefits of culturally relevant physical activities among the elderly
