Gait and balance in the elderly. Two functional capacities that link sensory and motor ability to falls.

Neuromuscular function, which underlies efficient gait and balance, deteriorates with age and disease. A review of the literature and of data from the current study suggests the presence of poor gait and balance in elderly individuals who have a history of multiple falls. The tests of gait and balance are simple to perform and therefore may be widely applicable in evaluating individuals at risk of falls. Quantitative studies of motor and sensory function, vibratory sensation, and electrophysiologic studies of nerve integrity are discussed. Deteriorating motor and sensory control mechanisms appear to play an important role in falling.

[Hematomas of the cerebellum and tumors. 3 cases].

Three cerebellar hematomas induced by a tumor are reported. A metastasis was present in two cases, but the lesion was unique on CT scan, vertebral angiography did not reveal abnormal vessels, and general investigations were normal. The third case was a medulloblastoma. The first two patients were treated medically or with ventricular shunting. In both cases the primary tumor was lately discovered. These cases show that a CT scan follow up is necessary when the patient is not operated, and a pathological examination of the hematoma must be done where there has been surgical intervention.
