ABSTRACT
Difficulty walking and Impaired balance are some of the more
common challenges for individuals with Parkinson's Disease(PD) and
Elder people, They contribute to reduced levels of activity and
participation in the community. These impairments are also
predictive of future falls and fall related injury. Identifying what
types of interventions improve mobility performance in this
population is important to guide clinical decision making.
Jogging is a popular exercise. It is known that the jogger’s knees
suffer from significant impact especially at the moment that the foot
hits the ground. The knees could be easily injured after constantly
taking the impacts for a period of time. Therefore, many exercisers
such as elliptical exercisers, stepper, and air walker are developed to
guide the feet Move along one trajectory that is similar to that of real
jogging, only that the knees are well protected from being impacted
and injured.
MLLE will have totally different design compared to elliptical
exerciser which has flat surface to climb easily for elder people,
Ergonomically designed seat for comfortable seating positio
