TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - The decreases in motor function in the elderly JO - Nippon Rinsho A1 - Kawate, Nobuyuki A1 - Mizuma, Masazumi SP - 988 EP - 992 VL - 71 IS - 6 N2 - Decreases in motor function in the elderly differ from one individual to another. These decreases may disturb their ability to perform activities of daily living and locomotion. Because of the decrease in reserve capacity that comes with age, disuse syndrome may develop, in which the individual becomes bedridden and more susceptible to another diseases and injuries. Emergency medical care workers must have adequate understanding of the motor function of the elderly. Prevention of disuse syndrome with early rehabilitation must be a top priority.
